Welcome to First Presbyterian Church in Havre MT!

The first task of any congregation is to help people become believers in Jesus Christ. Christianity is not about doctrines and tenets – it is about a relationship. To believe in Jesus you must first know Him. It is not enough to know about Jesus or depend on what others have told us about Him – we want a first hand experience and our worship, education, mission and outreach all seek to help each one of us do just that.

Our second task is to grow in Christ. While we may come into the kingdom as infants in Christ, we are not content to remain babies in the faith. The Church’s role is to help us develop a mature faith that is constantly seeking, asking and knocking. We are all beginners but that is no excuse to remain so.

Our third mission is to show the faith by putting our faith into action. Whether it be visiting the sick, volunteering at the Soup Kitchen, taking a turn as a greeter, liturgist, or in the kitchen for fellowship– we all have at least one gift God has given and expects us to use for the work of His Kingdom. As St. Francis of Assisi put it, "Preach the Gospel at all times…"

As we know, grow and show the faith we also sow the faith and become the Light of the World we were called to be. Evangelism is really nothing more than sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with our friends, family and neighbors. An active Christian faith is infectious, and we seek to spread it through faithful lives. As has been often said, “Christianity is caught rather than taught." If the first stage of the Christian life is to know Christ, then let people meet Him first in us and use words when you have to.
