First Church Williamsport

We can discern what next steps and decisions we need to make in life by pursuing that which is honorable. 

We can discern truth in a difficult time by exploring facts and feelings and bringing them in a spirit of humility under faith in Christ.

God’s people are a “fellowship of differents.”

Because we follow a different kind of King—one who absorbs evil rather than return it—we can represent the Kingdom of Christ in the world so that others might relate to the love of Jesus.

We are better together in sharing the Kingdom of God when we recognize our own unique gifts while celebrating and collaborating with everyone else’s unique gifts as well.

When we end the secrecy and silence behind our shame, we can embrace the Gospel's truth, step out of our shame, and receive healing.

Holy Spirit power is given to us so we will praise and glorify God.

The Holy Spirit transforms those who obey and follow the Holy Spirit, even when uncomfortable, from ordinary to extraordinary people.

We experience the power of the Holy Spirit when we as the corporate church and as individuals offer God’s healing in the world.

We experience Holy Spirit power when we receive a spirit of adoption and embrace our identity as children of God.

When we connect with the Holy Spirit within us, we can walk in step with His guidance to offer God’s love, grace, and healing to the world.

We receive the power of the Holy Spirit when we are willing to live into a posture of obedience and follow the Holy Spirit's movement in our lives.

By embracing a missional posture in our discipleship DNA we are best equipped to see God’s Church thrive in the unique time and age in which we live.

You are a gift as part of the body of Christ. Every gift sees things differently and helps the church to move in a different direction. We need all the gifts to work together to help bring the love of Jesus to our community. To learn more about APEST, take the free online assessment .

Growing in our discipleship DNA allows us to see God’s Kingdom movement thrive even in the face of incredible odds.

We seek to follow Christ in the Biblical paradigm of being a Gathered and Sent Church in today’s unique cultural context.

Recognize Jesus as Messiah and become a Christian. Pray that God would open the eyes of your heart. Intentionally start or stop behaviors in order to become more like Jesus. Become a model of the Christian life for others through imitating Christ.

To follow Jesus means we must first recognize that He is Lord, and then embrace Him as Lord of our lives.

Don't miss out on the full power, hope, joy, and life of the Resurrection. See Jesus as the ultimate host at the table, and invite others to the table so they can see Him too.

The last meal Jesus has at the table with His disciples is the most important meal He has. When Jesus dies on the cross, the barrier between God and humanity is forever removed, and we can fully embrace the sacrificial love Jesus gives.

At the table, Jesus breaks the boundary of gender stereotypes and welcomes women (and all people) as his disciples.

We experience the miracle of 'enough' when Jesus invites us to participate in sharing the meal He's invited us to with others.

At the table we are welcomed into the family of Christ. There, we realize God's is meant for everyone, and that in His Love we are all beautiful.

We experience God’s goodness at the table with Jesus as the boundaries between sacred and secular are collapsed.

God's table gives us the opportunity to receive grace and offer grace to those who need it, like Levi.
