Outreach

We do not always see everything. Sometimes we go so fast from place to place and task to task that we fail to see the need around us. What is it like to not have the basic necessities for life? FPCR has a long heritage of offering “hands on” help locally and internationally.

What is “hands on” ministry? Offering clothes to those in need through the FPCR Clothes Closet, teaching English in the ESL (English as a Second Language) Program on Sunday and weekdays, serving lunch at the Downtown Stew Pot, building churches and schools in Africa, repairing homes, and much more.

FPCR is committed to increasing mission dollars and expanding ministry programs to help people in need. God calls us to reach out and to do what we say we believe.
