g programs for children, youth, and families
•Stimulating, challenging, and inspiring sermons
•A vibrant and varied music, arts, and theater ministry
•Outreach to our community and world
•An extravagant welcome to all. If you understand faith as a matter of mind as well as heart, and that taking the Bible seriously means it cannot always be taken literally...

If you know that God's love embraces all persons equally, no matter their gender, race, or sexual identity...

If you believe Christ calls us to be global citizens, that the social expression of love is justice, and that spiritual concerns are inseparable from commitment to the natural world...

If you've wished for a more open and embracing community of faith to nurture your spirit and raise your children...

Then we invite you to explore the many ways that God is still speaking and welcome you to FCCPA. We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship!

Some members of our church began a journey of learning and discovery in New Orleans on April 12. We are learning from local leaders about historic injustices, along with past and current ways that racism affects the lived experience of communities. We are also learning about the ways that these leaders are organizing to make their communities healthier, stronger, and more just. Our pilgrimage will continue through April 18 as we travel to Jackson, Selma, and Montgomery.
