OUR BELIEFS
Our church is served by a board of elders and deacons, and is theologically built upon strong reformed principals.
OUR STORY
In 1856, the First Presbyterian Church began to serve God in the community of Montezuma.
9:30AM WORSHIP—
We exist to glorify God at First Presbyterian Evangelical Church (FPEC). Join us as the scriptures are opened each Sunday morning and the infallible Word of God is preached with a full children’s program during service. Praise and worship include a mix of hymns and newer songs.
THIS IS US—
We are a simple church with a simple message:
Know Jesus and Make Jesus Known!
He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen,
talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see,
expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another,
empties himself in order to be full,
admits he is wrong so he can be declared right,
goes down in order to get up,
is strongest when he is weakest…
richest when he is poorest,
and happiest when he feels worst.
He dies so he can live,
forsakes in order to have,
gives away so he can keep,
sees the invisible,
hears the inaudible,
and knows that which passeth knowledge.
In short, the man who has met God is not looking for something–he has found it; he is not searching for light–upon him the Light has already shined. HIs certainty may seem bigoted, but his is the assurance of one who knows by experience. His religion is not hearsay; he is not a copy, not a facsimile print; he is an original from the hand of the Holy Spirit.
