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.

Jesus commands us to make disciples, but the "how to" can be challenging. Join us as we journey through the gospel of Luke, learning from Jesus' historical training of His disciples to apply His teachings to today's context. This course aims to better equip participants in articulating the hope we have in Jesus (1 Peter 3) to seekers or new believers. Our fellowship is a vibrant mix of ages and experiences, with high participation encouraged. While there is no homework, questions will be provided for contemplation before class meetings.

The Prayer Ministry at FPC is excited to continue our International Prayer endeavor!
This is a wonderful opportunity to praise God and support one another in prayer. In small groups of 2-3, each member will pray a provided scripture over one child and one specific need of that child, as guided by the Holy Spirit. We will also pray for the First Presbyterian Children’s Center over the summer.
Moms who participate often say it’s their favorite hour of the week! We hope you’ll consider joining us. If you require childcare, please let us know.
