Worship

    • Parking is extremely limited for downtown churches like Reno First. We validate parking at the Parking Gallery 135 N. Sierra (just ask an usher for parking validation). Also, on Sundays, there is no charge for parking on the street. A gentle stroll by the river is a great way to start the week. Please save the closest spots for people with mobility challenges.
    • 8:15am on Sundays in the Sanctuary
        • An intimate communion service focused on scripture, reflection, and prayer. The dress code is casual; “come as you are” is the constant theme. We practice Open Communion, which means everyone is invited to share the elements.

    • 10am on Sundays in the Sanctuary
        • This traditional yet informal service includes time just for children, hymns sung with choir and organ, and monthly communion open to everyone. Some people dress up in their “Sunday best,” the choir wears robes, some people wear jeans or shorts, and some kids choose to wear costumes– really, all wardrobe choices are welcome. Kids leave mid-service for Sunday school, provided by background-checked, kind, competent teachers. Stick around afterwards for fellowship time with coffee and treats to get to know more people in the community. 

    • 10:00am on Sundays Online
        • Our online service is a live-stream of our 10am service with the ability to chat to other online participants, share prayer requests in real time with the in-person crowd, and be snug at home in the comfort of your slippers at the same time!  AI generated closed captioning is available (and sometimes has hilarious mistakes…) Click here to join: Zoom Church at 10am on Sundays

    • 1pm Tongan Language Worship
        • Our Tongan language community meets in the afternoon to share preaching, prayer, and music led by lay people in Tongan, together with monthly open communion in English. Even if you don’t speak Tongan, the service is heartfelt, passionate, and inspiring. It is appropriate to dress up for the Tongan service, and particularly appropriate to wear long pants or a long dress.
