What to Expect

What are services like?
FPR is family oriented and very traditional in our approach to worship. We sing hymns and choruses. Our worship is lead by staff, instrumentalists, and an adult choir. Children are welcome in the service. We also provide Children's Church and a weekly Children's message. Our worship services last 60-75 minutes. We have new families each week and YOU are welcome too!

What is the community like?
Our church is a great reflection of the community in which we live and serve. Our members span the ages of nursery to senior adult. Our services are simple, informal, and filled with friendly people. We want our guest’s experience with us to be comfortable without fear of embarrassment.

What if I'm not a Christian?
We believe the 25 most important words in the Bible are John 3:16! The gospel message of Jesus Christ is the most important story ever told. We invite seekers and those who are not yet believers to join us. We promise to never embarrass you or singled out. Our services include a moment of commitment for any and all who need to respond to God's call upon their lives.
