Welcome Home
Join us Sunday at 11am online or in-person.
Join a thriving KINGDOM FIRST community where everyone—new members, guests, and families of all cultures and backgrounds—are embraced with the love of God. From children to grandparents, there’s a place for you to grow, serve, and experience ministry designed to equip and empower every generation for Kingdom impact. Come and be a part of what God is doing!

Welcome!
We are honored to serve God and lead this incredible church family. For 30 years, we have remained committed to His vision—to build a church where everybody is somebody and lives are transformed by His power.
Our desire is for everyone who connects with First Sterling, in person or online, to experience God’s love and the warmth of His people. Through faith, dedication, and applying His Word, your life will be enriched, your purpose revealed, and your testimony one of breakthroughs and restoration.
Under this ministry, we’ve witnessed countless miracles—souls saved, families restored, and a thriving community of faith. We encourage you to engage in all First Sterling offers, from weekly Bible study and dynamic events to opportunities for serving and using your God-given gifts.
This church is the fulfillment of a vision, but the work continues. With God’s grace, we press forward, knowing all things are possible through Christ Jesus. Join us on this journey of faith, growth, and Kingdom impact!
