Faith Promise Sunday is Coming Up!

This special service has become an annual tradition and celebrates the incredible mission work Tucker First is doing while building connection in our local community, across the country, and around the world. You will hear from several organizations specifically impacted by support from us, and you will have the opportunity to interact with them and others at our Missions Fair in the Gathering Room before and after the service. We hope you will join us in Faith Promise Sunday! Contact Ellen Griffith at

Ministry & Arts Ministry Thank You!

On March 4 we celebrated the life of Lynn Urda in a very touching and inspiring memorial service in the sanctuary. The Music & Arts Ministry hosted a reception in the chapel following the service. Thank you to Marti Coleman and the many volunteers who contributed to the success of this reception. On March 12 we had the wonderful opportunity to host the Alabama Choir School from Tuscaloosa Alabama in worship at 11:00 am, and for a full concert at 3:00 pm. This was a great opportunity for us to “give back” for the many churches that have hosted our youth choirs over the years. Many thanks to Mimi Sanders, Stephanie & Glenn Shanholtzer, Mike Sanders, Walter Kelly, Jonnie Johnston and the many additional volunteers to help provide a meal for around 100 people in the Activities Center.

The Worship Team is pleased to offer Lilies and Hydrangeas to decorate our Sanctuary for Easter.
