First Church Staff


The staff at First Church is dedicated to our mission of bringing others to saving faith in Jesus Christ and making disciples that make disciples.


The church office is open 9-3, Monday-Thursday. Feel free to leave a voicemail any time at 616-772-9129.


If you have a pastoral care need or emergency when the church office is closed, the best way to contact one of our pastors is by calling our Pastoral Care line: 616-613-6930
