Growing through Study & Fellowship
FPC believes God invites and causes us to grow through study, learning, and prayer. We invite you to grow in your own knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Bible, develop meaningful relationships with other believers, and contribute to the spiritual and physical needs of those who are struggling, both inside and outside the walls of the church.

FPC has a rich history of women serving faithfully as pastors, elders, and deacons. In this class, we will explore how the Bible affirms women in ministry and leadership, address passages that have historically been viewed as restrictive, and study the lives of notable women in the early and later church. Open to both men and women, the class considers how men and women can faithfully support, encourage, and partner with one another to love and serve the church.
Pre-registration is required at bit.ly/fpcsat-women-in-ministry.
Sundays | 9:15–10:45 AM

A new season begins Sunday, January 25, making this an excellent entry point for visitors, but the class can be joined at any point.
