First Presbyterian Church, Alpena, MI
Come Join Us!
We gather together in our sanctuary to worship God at 10:30 AM every Sunday.
We worship in a traditional style with hymns, readings, and proclamation of God’s Word.
We celebrate communion--The Lord's Supper--on the first Sunday of each month. All who trust in the Lord are welcome to commune at Christ's table.
We are continuing to offer an online service option each week.
We offer a Fellowship Time / Coffee Hour following each Sunday's worship.

Consider coming to church!
Your level of involvement is entirely up to you.
Come for the spiritual uplift.
Come for fellowship with people who come to know and care about you.
Come because you are seeking knowledge about God and want to get a better understanding of God’s Word.
Come because you know that it is the right thing to do.
