The Parish Nursing Ministry
Founded on the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, the Parish Nurses of the First Presbyterian Church seek to empower people to live fuller, well-balanced, spiritual and wholesome lives.
We are committed to helping the congregation care for each other, as well as those within the community.
When congregations are faithful to the example and mandate of Christ, they are by definition communities of health and healing.
