Christian Outreach

Through various means of communication, the Outreach Committee strives to keep the church family and local citizens informed of ongoing programs and events at FPC, such as the Dementia Support Group, Alcoholics Anonymous and Grieving Together. Personal contacts are made with visitors interested in becoming church members. The Outreach Committee works to represent FPC as a church that welcomes others to join in for worship and fellowship.
