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.
