Your wedding is a beautiful occasion and should be a day of celebration and full of joy. A Christian wedding is considered to be an act of public worship by the couple and the church. The Wedding Committee at First Pres is here to ensure that the service is carried out with dignity and respect for God. Learn more.

Death brings loss, sorrow, and grief to all. In the face of death, Christians affirm with tears and joy the hope of the gospel. At First Presbyterian Church of Clinton, we remember and celebrate the life of the person who has died, but more importantly, we give thanks for the hope given to us by Jesus Christ through the resurrection. Learn more about our offering of love and hope to the grieving.

The purpose of church ministry is to minister to the total person. Through the use of the Christian Life Center, we hope to support and strengthen the relationship of church members and our community.
