Serving at FPC
We desire to glorify God through the teaching and application of God’s Word, with an emphasis on equipping believers for service within the church to strengthen the body of Christ, and for service outside the church to minister the gospel of Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commission.
At FPC, we have many ways for congregants to participate in the life of the church. No membership required! Contact the church office for more information if you are interested in serving on a committee or assisting with worship.
