Christian Education
Children's Ministry
Kids' Connection is FPC's Sunday morning experience for children - where they learn to "be like Christ". There are places for teachers, helpers, musicians and caregivers - helpful hands and loving hearts required!
Youth Ministry
Team FPC, for Jr and Sr High Youth, invites teens to connect with Jesus Christ and each other - while sparking excitement in them to grow their faith. Team FPC needs adults to help with all youth activities - education, service, mission, fellowship - and most of all fun.
Adult Ministry
Topical and Biblical adult classes are offered on Sunday mornings. New classes are added as we indentify new teachers to help us meet the educational needs of our adult members.
Small Group Ministry
Many small groups meet for fellowship and learning - so more host homes and group facilitators are needed.
