Pastor Laura Saunders
There are so many options in life calling for our attention.
We can constantly be asking ourselves, “Should I look into this? Will I fit in? What can I expect if I visit?” All good questions to consider.
Franklin First is a modest-sized church that has a family feel.
We have a few main goals:
- to grow in our faith journey, whether we are seasoned believers or just getting started
- to welcome new friends, and
- to serve our community by being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Volunteer Recognition Sunday May 25!
In 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, Paul reminds us that "there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them."
Each of us is blessed with unique talents and abilities, given by the Spirit for the common good. Whether you offer wisdom, work behind the scenes, or provide encouragement, your contributions are invaluable.
At Franklin First, we celebrate the diverse gifts within our community. Our church thrives because of the dedication and love each volunteer brings.
On this special Sunday, we will honor and thank all our volunteers who faithfully serve and glorify God through their efforts.
Come and be inspired by the stories of service and the impact of our collective work. Let's continue to step out in faith, using our gifts to bless others and fulfill our purpose in the Lord's service.
See you there!
