FPC FAQ
Q1: When will you begin worshiping in the sanctuary and have services on site?
Our primary concern is everyone’s health and safety. We have a terrific group of dedicated, experienced people working on plans for re-opening the church campus. Right now, we are hoping to have outside worship beginning at the end of August. This will continue until our “Church has Left the Building” event at the end of October. Hopefully, we will then be able to welcome members and friends to a new type of in-person worship. Of course, our plans depend on the status of the Coronavirus pandemic and situation at hand. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience and assure you we care about you and want to see you very much. That said, everyone’s health and safety must come first.

We also have had classes for young adults and people over age 25. We look forward to re-convening these classes as soon as we are able to in a safe and healthy way.
Q7: Do you have any large annual projects?
