Starting Point Opportunity on May 22
At FCC, we want everyone to feel plugged-in to our church family, growing in Christ and serving others. We realize this isn’t going to happen for everyone automatically. That is why we have created an experience called Starting Point. This is a one-time, 90 minute, laid-back, yet inspiring experience designed to help you learn more about FCC and connect with others. The goal of this experience is to help you grow and thrive as part of this church family. This experience is also the first step towards membership at FCC. Join us on May 22nd at 6:30pm in the Garden Room.
For questions, contact Pastor Chad at chad.oyer@fcctc.org.

Classes begin April 20th and end June 29th
Books available in Crossway – $15.00. (The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress and Equality by Glen Scrivener) “Brilliant, fascinating, readable and winsome! Glen Scrivener’s The Air We Breathe powerfully demonstrates how Christianity has shaped our Western values so much that we don’t even notice it. Highly recommended for skeptics, inquirers, believers, doubters and anyone wondering whether following Jesus still makes sense in the modern world.”
- Gavin Ortlund, Author, Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn’t
Our Mission
We are the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus wherever we live, work, play, and are led.
