Sunday Worship

9AM: We offer a simple 45 minute service in the Sanctuary. This service is informal and geared for our families, so come in your t-shirts and enjoy!

11AM: Our traditional Worship service is live-streamed and features music from the Organ and Chancel Choir. If you worship with us, sign in using our connect card.

Adult Confirmation

Newcomers to Decatur First will sometimes say, "I know I like it here. I can tell it's different, but I'm not sure why." Whether you are a visitor, new member, or long time member, you're invited to join this Fall's Adult Confirmation class. This class meets 9:45-10:45am for eight Sundays in August, September and October. The class is free, but registration is necessary. Reach out to Janice Yates at jyates@decaturfirst.org if you have questions.

Back to School Sunday

Backpack Blessing & Playground Parent Mixer

On August 3rd, we will mark the beginning of the school year with a backpack blessing in the 9 & 11am services. We encourage kids of all ages to bring their backpacks to worship as we pray over them, their teachers, and their families. During the Sunday school hour, we'll have Panera bagels and pastries on the playground for parents and kids so families can get to know each other. Even if you've been at the church for a while, we encourage you to come mingle and welcome those who are newer to the church.

Blood Drive

Decatur First will host a Blood Drive on Sunday, August 3 from 8am-1pm in the Fellowship Hall through the Red Cross. For more information or to volunteer, contact Julie Martinez at martinezjw@comcast.net.

Friends and Family Choir

The Friends and Family summer choir is back! Join us in the sanctuary for a brief devotional and a rehearsal of the morning's anthem from 10:30 to 10:50 a.m. (does not meet June 29).

Learning to Study the Bible

The Bible comes to us through many hands, many generations, and many translations.  It is the inspired word of God, and yet it’s not a simple or easy read.  If you’d like to develop skills for studying this extraordinary and complicated book you’re invited to join Janice Watts Yates for an eight-week class on Learning to Study the Bible.  The class will be offered on Sunday evenings and Wednesday mornings.  This is the registration for SUNDAY Evenings.  A registration fee of $10 covers class materials, but plan to bring your own Bible. 

Preschool Registration

Preschool registration is open for the 2025-2026 school year.
