About Us:

Since 1869, the First Presbyterian Church at Dayton has been a gathering place for the Christian community - drawing people in to experience the Word and sending people out as bearers of God's light.

The people that make up this family of faith represent a multitude of things.  Some can trace their family history to the church's earliest days, with third generations now coming into leadership.  Some have been here for years, raising their children up through Sunday school and young adulthood.  Some come because this is where they've found friends.  Some are brand new to the community.

Some are here because being a Presbyterian is part of their self-definition.  Some come from other faith traditions, having no idea what a Presbyterian is.  Some have never been to church before, or haven't been in a long time, walking through the doors out of a longing to live into the truth that God knows and cares for them.
