Living God's Love in Community
The First Presbyterian Church of Cottage Grove is a
modest church with a rich heritage that strongly values
the role of the pastor as teacher and leader. We pursue a liberal and progressive Reformed theology embracing all people, as indicated in our role as a More Light congregation. We set a high standard for worship services, striving to engage our congregation through a high-quality music program and vibrant preaching.
Our beliefs in the saving grace of Christ, the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the core teaching of the Bible unite us. As Presbyterians we value our individual freedom as well as the challenge to interpret the Bible both with our minds and our hearts. These beliefs guide us in our worship and interactions. We are stewards of God's creation and take seriously our responsibility to care for the world, our community, and each other.
We have a history of deep commitmment to addressing social needs within our community. We desire to strengthen our church's educational ministry for all generations, including programs for youth and young families. We cherish our culture as a welcoming faith community and will carry this tradition into the future.
