This week we have a glimpse of what's offered Monday, March 15th at 7:30 pm at the church. Violinist Rebecca Willie, a member of the Eclectic Players who will be performing then, contributed to the music today along with Anne Thurmond on clarinet. You can find more out about their group through the link below. You can now view photos from the church's first filtration installation in Tazewell, TN as a part of the 'Living Waters for the World' mission work. For youth and young at heart: Decorate Easter cards for shut-ins on Sunday, March 14th after lunch in Fellowship Hall. Questions? See 'News' page for more details. Sunday mornings we have Sunday school classes at 9:45 am and service at 11 am.

Our Mission .... Called by the Holy Spirit into the First Presbyterian Church of Cookeville, we seek to be a community  in Christ whose worship and study, fellowship with one another, and service to others embody the love of God.

Our Vision ... To accomplish our mission, we envision becoming:

A transforming congregation that honors a diversity of gifts and respects each individual's journey of faith while challenging everyone to grow in discipleship to Christ through a full range of educational, training, and service programs for all ages and groups.

"We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind...But seeking the truth in love, we must  grow up in every way into him who is head, into Christ." (Eph. 4:14-15)

A growing congregation that welcomes visitors, actively reaches out to people in the community, and makes space for new people by offering them friendship and significant work to do within the church.

"All this was done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also." (2 Cor. 5:18 TEV)

A serving congregation that offers its members and friends many opportunities to embody in their own lives Christ's ministry of compassion and to work for justice, freedom, and peace.

"Jesus said, 'Truly, I tell you, just as you did it to the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.'" (Matt. 25:40
