Response to events in Charlottesville, VA
August 21, 2017 
EXCERPT: The events of this past weekend in Charlottesville deserve a clear response from the church. Let there be no confusion. We, the leadership at First Presbyterian Church, denounce racism and any words, acts, or implications that are intended to raise one group of people over another and/or to cause harm to any person. We denounce hatred and any acts of violence. We believe that God is love and that we are called to love one another. (Click on the above title to read full response.)
