About Us

We are a theologically evangelical church with children, youth, growing families, and active senior adults. Our desire is to help people take the next step in their spiritual journey, whether that is growing in their Christian walk or meeting Jesus for the first time.

Our Sunday morning worship celebration features a blend of contemporary songs and traditional hymns followed by a challenge from God’s Word. Services are approximately one hour and all are invited to join us after the service for coffee and snacks and a chance to connect with one another.

CONNECT for junior and senior high students meets Wednesdays from from 6-7:30 p.m. for a Bible study where we look at how God’s Word applies to our lives.

Life Groups are adult small groups that meet in homes during the week. Life Groups create a space for people to intentionally share their lives with others, grow spiritually together, and encourage each other through the highs and lows of life. We currently have one Life Group that meets on Thursdays at 4 p.m.

First Presbyterian Church was the first church in Pine County, founded nearly 150 years ago. Although we have a long past with a lot of great memories, our church is focused on creating a full and vibrant future of ministry in our community and our world.

Our mission is to help people take the next step in their walk with Jesus. Wherever you are on your journey – whether you are a long-time follower, a brand-new believer, or still exploring your faith – there’s a place for you at FPPC!
Meet Our Pastor

Rob Spahr
Lead Pastor
Pastor Rob grew up on the west coast of Florida in sunny Bradenton. After earning his B.A. from King College in Bristol, Tennessee, with a major in Bible and Religion, he moved to Minnesota to complete his Master of Divinity at Bethel Theological Seminary. Rob then served for more than a decade as Youth Pastor at an Evangelical Free Church in Ripon, Wisconsin - where he also met his wife, Rosalie. They are the proud parents of two adult sons, Jordan and Jonah.

In 2005, Rob returned to Minnesota, serving as youth pastor in several congregations before taking a sabbatical from vocational ministry. During that time, he worked at Walmart in Pine City, advancing to the role of Assistant Manager. In God’s timing, he was called back to full-time ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Pine City.

Rob continues to enjoy connecting with students and families. Outside of ministry, he loves spending time with his family, running, swimming, reading, watching Star Trek and other science fiction, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers. He’s also a big fan of Cribbage, Catchphrase, and Sequence!
