130th Anniversary Celebration
We're planning a lot of events to celebrate our 130th anniversary this year. Come join us in our celebration - all are welcome here!List of Celebration Events
Serving 130 Hours
for 130 Years
When FPC-SSP was established in 1893, the organizers intended for the church to not only be a place of worship, but to serve others both inside and outside the community through their financial giving and hands-on service. One hundred and thirty years later we are still faithfully following their vision.
The Church is hoping that together we can give a 130 hours of community service either as a part of an organized church event or as individuals during 2023. Forms to track service hours will be available soon and a graphic of some sort will help us track our collective hours. Volunteer opportunities will be offered in future church communications.
Commemorative Worship Service
Our Sunday morning worship service on December 17, 2023 will commemorate our 130th anniversary through music and word.
1893 – 2023
We strive to be a vibrant Christian community that is loving, nurturing, open, sustainable and renewing, and one that inspires people of all ages to live in the Christian faith and serve the world.
