We know that visiting a church for the first time is not easy whether you have attended church your entire life or never at all. We are grateful for your interest and commit ourselves to doing our best to make your worship experience the best possible.
The focus of worship life at FPCA is our worship service at 11:00 am in the sanctuary.
Worship in the reformed tradition at FPCA is traditional. It includes lay and pastoral leadership, and hymns sung by the congregation and choir, led by the organ.
Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month.
You will find attendees in a variety of clothes: dress clothes, blue jeans, Cowboys jerseys, you name it!
Children are welcome to worship, and nursery and child care is available up to age 3.
During worship, children age 4 to fourth grade are invited to KFC (Kids for Christ) about halfway through the service.
Children’s Sunday School – Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:45 for children 4 years old to 6th grade. We meet in the Fellowship Hall for games and a large group lesson, then break up into small groups which meet in Fellowship Hall and 100 Hallway.
Youth Sunday School – Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:45 for 7th to 12th grade. We meet in the Fellowship Hall for breakfast and fellowship, then move to classes.
Adult Sunday School – Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45. Classes are available for all ages, with a variety of class formats.
Bible Study (Room 204 at 9:45) – The Bible Study class reads and studies one chapter of the Bible each week. The class is currently studying Jeremiah. Members of all generations welcome anyone who wants to join or visit. Using a set of standard questions, the class reviews the content of the chapter, what the chapter tells us about God, and how to apply that to our lives today.

Family Living (Room 209 at 9:45) – The Family Living Class studies the Bible through the Present Word curriculum while praying for each other, the church, and the world, with frequent breaks for social and fellowship activities.
