Lay Ministries

Family Promise

We are part of the rotation with other churches in Lawton to host homeless families with children for a weeks at a time. This occurs every two or three months. Our guests come to us in the evenings and eat a supper that we prepare. They then spend the night with a host couple in the church. In the morning they have breakfast and travel to the day center where they receive counseling and assistance.

To learn more about Family Promise, check out Family Promise of Lawton. If you’re interested in volunteering when it is First Presbyterian’s turn to host, please contact the church office.

5th Saturday Brunch

Every month that there is a fifth Saturday, our church volunteers host a free brunch in the Fellowship Hall. The brunch is open to the entire community, with the most recent event serving 166 people.

Deacons

Our Deacons are nine members of the congregation serving in the name of Jesus Christ and assisting with the physical and spiritual needs of the church members.

Medical Aides Library

We are collecting items such as wheelchairs, shower benches, bedside commodes, reachers, etc… to establish a Loan Closet. Items will be sanitized and put in good repair. The will be checked out by appointment with persons trained to assist with appropriate fit and functionality. They can be returned to the original owner at any time. Contact the church office if you are in need of such items.
