A Rainbow of caring - Church members individually and as a congregation have been instrumental in organizing and fund-raising for Cache Valley Hospice, CAPSA, Stokes Nature Center, the Faith & Fellowship Center, Ten Thousand Villages fair-trade program, and Somebody’s Attic (to help support CAPSA), plus the community-wide Westminster Hand-Bell Choir and an ecumenical Vacation Bible School each summer. Through various means, including our operating budget and special offerings, we have financially supported the Cache Community Food Pantry, the free health clinic, Angel’s Landing, the Cache Valley Literacy program, and many more worthy causes. We produce “Almost Broadway,” an annual variety-style musical for the community as a free-will fund-raiser that raises about $4500 annually to pay for upkeep and improvement of our building.
For more than 20 years, we provided a home for a Korean and two Hispanic Christian churches until they were ready to set out on their own. For many years, we have hosted Boy Scout Troop 1, Cub Pack 299, Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, a community Bel Canto Choir, Cache Community Connections, ecumenical youth activities and other groups. Annually, we host the Alternative Gift Market, the Iris Society Show, a community rummage sale, gatherings of youth and adults who collect for UNICEF, and interdenominational services during Holy Week. Our staff and facility host special occasions, such as weddings and funerals, for members as well as people who have no church home in Cache Valley. We also have a long and ongoing history of world outreach, of prayer, and thousands of dollars of mission support for peacemaking, hunger and disaster relief, education and more.
Ecumenical outreach at First Presbyterian Church is reflected both in its Youth program, which has joint activities with St. John’s Episcopal Church and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, and through the Cache Community Connection, a local planning board representing most faith groups in Cache Valley.
