| The First Presbyterian Church of Willard, Ohio | ||
| Welcome! May the
peace of Christ be with you. The
purpose of this church is to promote the Word of God
through the teachings of Jesus Christ. Thanks for visiting our church website. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) located in the Synod of the Covenant and the Maumee Valley Presbytery. We gather for worship Sunday mornings at 10:00am. If you navigate this site you will notice, on this and all of the pages, a picture of a seal with a ship on it. This seal resides over the front doors of our church, which lead directly to our sanctuary. You might wonder why such an image would be located on a church building in such a land-locked location. Ships are very old Christians symbols. "The imagery of the ark or ship being tossed about by stormy waves, yet reaching its destination, is descriptive of the Church in the world," writes Friedrich Rest in his book, Our Christian Symbols. He continues, "We are told that at the head of the center aisle a model of a ship is suspended from the ceiling in some of the Danish Lutheran churches to remind the worshipers that the Church is a ship on the sea of life." We invite you to join us on our journey of discipleship. First Presbyterian Church 124 W. Maple Street, P.O. Box 27 Willard, OH 44890 phone: 419-935-0719 1stpresbyterian@willard-oh.com |
CHURCH INFORMATION: Home Programs News About Us  "The same Lord
is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him . . . . But how
are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how
are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how
are they to hear without someone ot proclaim him? And how are
they to proclaim him unless they are sent?"
Romans 10:12-15
