We gather to praise Him, enjoy life together through and for Him, and pray for opportunities to advance His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Specifically, our worship, life together, and ministries are guided by two eternally important questions: What would Jesus say about it? What would Jesus do about it?

Our highest goal, greatest ambition, and most fervent prayer is to honor Jesus in all we think, say, and do.

By focusing our lives on Jesus and filtering our ministries and relationships through Him, He will be honored, people will be helped, and our church will be known as First's family of faith where Jesus is Lord and everyone is welcomed, included, and loved.

I look forward to getting to know you, know Him more intimately with you, and make Him known throughout Belvidere, Greater Rockford, and beyond (see Acts 1:8).

Blessings and Love,

B. Kopp
