Ministries

At our core we believe in Christ-centered ministry.  We believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14).  We bear this belief out in the importance we place in the preached Word.  We also hold the teaching of the Bible to be necessary for a growing relationship with God in Christ; for the Bible testifies of the eternal life that those who are in Jesus have (John 5:39).  Jesus Christ is front and center in our ministry (Colossians 1:17-18).

We have a number of active Ministries at FPCS.  We invite you to explore each and to join us in finding where you may share your gifts – or develop new gifts!
