First Presbyterian Church is a community committed to living with Jesus Christ as the Lord of our lives. That is true in our worship, in our mission, in our ministries, in our personal lives, and in our political activity. First Pres is also a community where people who are equally committed to Jesus Christ and united in our shared faith, carry differing convictions and opinions about American politics. Unfortunately, the public sphere can be a terrible place for reasoned and thoughtful political discourse. You see it and you feel it. The opposition is vilified, the conversation is toxic, and the disrespect is rampant. During this election season, we want to provide an opportunity for growth in understanding. Open Ears, Open Bibles, Open Hearts will provide an opportunity for us to learn why some of our brothers and sisters in Christ hold Jesus as the Lord of their lives but disagree with us on a variety of political issues. At these gatherings, pastor Chris will help members of First Pres gain a perspective on the thinking of those who agree with us on the Lordship of Jesus but disagree with us on political issues.
