Welcome, New Members!

Our church strives to be a welcoming family of faith called to love the Lord and our neighbors. We are growing in Jesus Christ through worship, teaching, fellowship, and joyful service.

Typical Questions from “Seekers and Learners”  classes :

Q. How is the Presbyterian denomination unique?
A.  The term “Presbyterian” comes from the Greek Word presbuteros, meaning “elder.” A Presbyter was an elder in the early Christian Church.  FPC, like all  Presbyterian churches, is a church with Jesus Christ at the head and with government provided by elders (and other lay leaders). 

 Q. What's the difference in just attending and actually joining? 
 A. While all church attendees are eligible for pastoral care and may participate on committees and in the life of the church, non-members to not have a vote and may not hold the position of elder or deacon. 

 Q. How do I become a member?
A.  The three ways to join a Presbyterian church are profession of faith in Jesus Christ, reaffirmation of faith professed at a different Presbyterian church, or transfer from another Presbyterian church or church in another Christian denomination.

We welcome all questions about FPC, past and present; church membership; or the ministries of the church. Please send to fpc@turbonet.com. We will post submitted questions (with answers).
