Leadership
Leadership
As a Presbyterian church, FPC is governed by Ruling Elders who function as decision making and teaching leaders within the congregation. Our Deacons function as a service-oriented body, visiting the sick, serving the congregation, helping those in need. Both our Elders and Deacons are elected representative members of the congregation.
Our staff works daily to support the mission and ministry of our congregation. Each staff member functions as a part of our church family, offering a warm welcoming smile and tangible support in the work and mission of Jesus Christ.
