sharing god's love in our city
At FPC, we are dedicated to participating in God's mission of redemptive restoration, reaching out to our neighbors and neighborhoods right here in San Antonio. Guided by Jesus' command to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20) and inspired by the call to "Seek the welfare of the city" (Jeremiah 29:7), we collaborate with local mission partners to create strong and lasting ministries. Our goal is to show the love of Jesus Christ and support God's healing and restoring work in our community.
Join us in transforming lives and glorifying God through local missions in our city.
