Welcome—we’re so glad you’re here! Our heart is to create a place where you can belong, build meaningful relationships, and feel at home from the moment you walk in. We invite you to believe in the hope of Jesus and grow in your faith through engaging worship, biblical teaching, and genuine fellowship. As you journey with us, our desire is that you would become more like Christ through His transforming grace. We are a church for individuals and families of all ages and stages of life, walking together in faith. No matter your background or where you are in life, there’s a place for you here.

Plan a Visit

Your first visit

When you visit for the first time, you can expect a warm and friendly atmosphere where you’ll be welcomed just as you are. Our service includes engaging worship through inspiring music, a clear and practical message from God’s Word, and opportunities to connect with others. Be sure to stop by Ruth’s Place for a cookie and coffee—it’s a great spot to relax and get connected. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you’re comfortable—there’s no pressure. We want your visit to be meaningful, encouraging, and easy to navigate from start to finish.

A place for your kids

Our kids ministry is a fun, safe, and engaging place where children can grow in their faith and build lasting friendships. We offer nursery care for our youngest attendees, Sunday School for all ages, and Children’s Church during our services. On Wednesday nights, kids can be part of The Best Night Ever, filled with energy, learning, and fun activities. Throughout the year, we also host exciting events like Vacation Bible School (VBS), Trunk or Treat, and other special activities designed just for kids. Our goal is to help every child know Jesus and experience His love in a way they can understand.

Connect with people

Small groups are a great way to build relationships, grow in your faith, and experience community beyond Sunday mornings. While we are excited to be launching more small groups soon, we currently offer small groups on Wednesday nights where you can connect and dive deeper into God’s Word. These gatherings are designed to be welcoming, conversational, and meaningful for every stage of life. Whether you’re new or have been attending for years, there’s a place for you to belong and grow together with others.

The Smith Family

“We moved to the area last year and Pana First Church has been our home ever since. Our two kids jump out of the car every Sunday for kids’ worship and Sunday School — the volunteers make everything fun and meaningful. The weekend messages are practical for family life.

The Daniels Family

“Pana First Church makes weekends easy for our family. The nursery is caring and reliable, the kid-friendly worship helps our children connect, and the family nights give us time to build friendships. We always feel supported here and appreciate how the staff helps parents stay involved.”
