The First Presbyterian Church
of Logan is a congregation of God’s people who for 100 years have shared
a journey of faith. We are people with questions, seeking greater
understanding of God's love and grace given in the words and message of
God's son Jesus Christ. We welcome and need members of different
backgrounds and experiences, because each individual offers the entire
congregation new insight and understanding of God’s presence in the
world. Each new person who comes into our midst is a gift from God, given
to build up the whole body of Christ. Our hope is that anyone walking
through our doors, can be themselves and experience God’s presence
within a compassionate Christian community. We hope to meet individuals
where they are at in their Christian faith journey. In addition to
worship, we gather regularly for fun and fellowship, study and support.
We respect all who are
willing to bring their questions and insights to share with the
congregation, welcoming the way each seeker joins in enriching our journey
of faith. All of us, as God's children, have an important role to play in
the congregation's collective understanding of our role as a Christian
community. Together we study, share, and experience God’s word in
scripture, through our reformed spiritual traditions, and in service to
the community and world.
One becomes an active member
of the church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of
his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and a public profession of faith in
Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into the active membership
of the church. God's love for us is unconditional, therefore we are called
to open our doors and our hearts unconditionally to all who seek God.
The First Presbyterian
Church of Logan affirms that its members are called by God in Christ to
service and each has the obligation to use their God-given gifts in ways
that benefits and gives glory to God's ongoing work upon this earth. All
members are asked to serve in ways that reflect their abilities, including
giving of their time and energy to church activities, financial support of
the church's work with tithes and offerings and when called by the church
to serve as officers and leaders of the church. All are welcomed into our
congregation, because we recognize that God may be calling you to this
place for a special reason and ministry. All are called and expected to
serve the church as guided by God and consistent with their capabilities.
Please join us, share your journey as we share ours.
The Great Ends of the
Church are:
- the proclamation of the gospel for the
salvation of humankind;
- the shelter, nurture, and spiritual
fellowship of the children of God;
- the maintenance of divine worship;
- the preservation of the truth;
- the promotion of social righteousness;
- and the exhibition of the Kingdom of
Heaven to the world.
