WELCOME
Whether you’re new to town or just new to our church, WE WELCOME YOU TODAY and hope that our service helps you in your walk with Jesus Christ. Our hope is to connect each person to a family of committed followers of Christ. We hope to encourage you to worship God in a variety of ways; to serve out of your giftedness in our church, community and around the world; to grow in your personal walk with God and invite others to be a part of what God is doing in your life. If you’re wondering “What do, I do now?” a great next step would be to get with our pastor or one of our elders so that we can help you get plugged in to the life of our church. We have several small groups and numerous ministries of our church that could just possibly be the very opportunity you need to deepen your faith. If you’d like to know more about becoming a Christian, being baptized or becoming a member of FCPC, our pastor would love to talk with you. As you leave the service today, feel free to let him know of your interests. We hope your time with us will be blessed!
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Children and Youth are an integral part of our church today, not just the church of tomorrow. We try to provide as many opportunities for our young members as possible to help them grow into their faith. Sunday School classes (ages 1 thru 4) are held at 9:00 am. Please ask our greeters for room locations.
Sprouts is for children ages 2 years thru 1st grade during morning worship. Your child will be led in a lesson geared for this age, as well as puppet shows, crafts, games and singing.
Bloom is our Children’s Church Ministry for grades 2 years thru 5th grade during morning worship. This is a worship time for your child to bloom into the person God designed them to be. Worship time will be God focused but kid friendly.
UPWARD BASKETBALL AND CHEERLEADING
A Christian Sport designed for kids Kindergarten thru 6th grade for
basketball and cheerleading. Upward Sports programs are designed
to be both competitive and fun. Upward Sports seeks to provide
children with skills for the sports arena and value for life. While
training children with the athletic skills needed to participate at the
next level with biblical values-such as training, children in leader-
ship, teamwork, integrity and respect. Practices are on Monday,
Tuesday and Thursdays.
CENTERSHOT
Make Christ the Target of Your Life. Our Centershot Ministry is an interdenominational outreach ministry that uses the life-skill of archery as a tool that assists the local church to reach its community bringing, the entire family back to the local church. Each session will combine both shooting archery and Bible study. Ages are 7-12 years of age.
UPWARD SOCCER

development, social awareness and athletic improvement. Soccer is a great team sport for children of all abilities.
YOUTH MINISTRY
Middle and High School students meet for Sunday School at 9:00 am in the upstairs Youth room in the education wing. Our Youth group meets each week as follows: Senior High (180) on Sundays at 5:30 pm and Jr. High (Breakaway) on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm.
ADULT MINISTRY
The Spiritual care of adults is also an important element of our congregational life together. Each Sunday there are several adult Sunday School Classes that meet at 9:00 am. Current classes are; G.I.F.T. class, Salvation Seekers, Pairs & Spares, and Willing Workers Class. These are age blended classes of people learning to live out the Scriptures and the Christian life together. Each of these classes have their own unique personality, but they all spend much time discussing relevant issues of culture, life and faith in the context
of the Holy Scripture.
