Greetings
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I’m
really glad you decided to check out our website & learn more about our
congregation. Although we are a
congregation of around 125 members, we are committed to putting our faith into
action through our service in the community.
As a part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we value the importance
of being connected within our local community as well as to a vast network of
other churches in the service of our Lord throughout the world.
Our
mission as a church is to live as a fellowship of believers worshipping the
Lord Jesus Christ is prayer, song and praise; following and teaching scripture;
making disciples and working together as God’s family serving others.
Since
arriving at FPC Parkesburg in January of 2010, I have witnessed the wonderful
sense of family here – this congregation is a loving, caring group of people, deeply
committed to living out the good news of Jesus Christ. We are actively working towards strengthening
our Christian Education programs and developing new ways to be in community
with one another.
One
of our ministries is our involvement in the Parkesburg Churches Community
Outreach, which provides assistance to those in our community in need. We also have a beautiful community garden in
our side yard, which helps to bring nourishing, healthy vegetables to community
members.
We
hope you will come & join us on Sunday mornings for worship. Come & be a part of our ministry to a
world in need. This is a wonderful place
to be!
Blessings,
Rev.
Erin Kobs, Pastor
