Programs at FPUPC
Our church has many programs that help us grow in faith. From the School of Sacred Music to our Health Ministry program, we are a community centered in meaningful connections with one another. Read on to learn more.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Learning about God
Christ teaches us that all are welcome and all are worthy. Christ teaches us to forgive even when we don’t want to; to show respect when we don’t have it in us. Church should be a safe place where we are nurtured and challenged to live a life that shows Christ’s love. This is what we aim to do in all our Christian Ed. programs, ranging from Sunday School to Confirmation to Youth Fellowships, and Adult Education. Read on to see what else we regularly do to foster the faith in our community.
