FCC is an accepting and welcoming community where faith in Christ’s teachings makes a difference in our lives, in our homes, and in the world.

Our Mission:
We are a congregation that sees the image of God in one another and follows the teachings of Jesus. We are a congregation of progressive and open faith that seeks not to convince, but to listen and discern truth through discussion, education and prayer. We are a congregation of justice that sees and responds to the needs of others and is willing to stand against the winds of popular opinion. We are a congregation of people who respect and care for one another and enthusiastically participate in the life, legacy and work of our historic church. All are welcome to share in our work of the present, and our hope for the future.

"Turn around. Don't drown." Pastoral advice from Rev. Sam this very rainy Sunday morning! Watch today's service via LiveStream now. Do not try to make it for the picnic as the flooding is likely to continue as the rain subsides.
Contact Sam if you are interested in helping distribute leftover food tomorrow from today's picnic. The plan is to share with service and emergency workers who are keeping us safe today.
