FPC in 2016

2016 represents FPC’s 130th year of existence! Yup, our ministry represents the oldest and longest continuing expressing of God’s grace in Glenwood Springs.

The question is: will we continue to be as pioneering in our current and future mission as those who first set the foundations to our church house? Well, we believe so…but not without some reinvention, some renewal, and some investment. And we are experiencing all of those things…anticipating more in the next two years.

All of which is to say, we welcome your participation in our ongoing discernment as to how and where we are to serve in Jesus name. And, we’d love to have you join us in the white water fun that comes with discovering Christ’s call and claim on our lives.

a congregation in missional transformation

congregations around the world are shifting from an inside the doors mindset to an into the world way of being.

it’s a shift from acting as though walking through the doors is an arrival when, really, it’s a launching point for service in and for the “real” world.

at fpc, we are reforming how we serve, how we act in Jesus’ name, how we are in the world. if that sounds remotely cool to you, come along side with us and help us move as Jesus’ moved.

just this week, we accepted a missional metaphor for our life together: living water. watch for more details as we begin to form ministries around the fluidity, transparency, quenching qualities that is water and who is Christ…the true living water.
