At FPC, we understand evangelism to be every way in which followers of Jesus Christ communicate the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection to people in need of a Savior. Thus, to be an evangelist means to be a “good messenger,” an ambassador with news of hope and joy for the world. We value a lifestyle of generosity, hospitality, love, courage, holiness, and grace as a testimony to God’s power in Christ. We encourage our community to explicitly share the gospel through spoken testimony with those with whom they have a relationship.
In a world that is broken and at a loss for meaning, love, and purpose, we are a people who proclaim the love of God through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our proclamation of the Gospel is through our prayerful listening, Christlike hospitality, and caring, conviction-filled conversations. We rejoice over every single person who gets to experience the love of Jesus (Matthew 28:16-20, Luke 15:7).
We believe powerful, Holy Spirit-led proclamation starts with prayerful listening. We listen to the one to whom we are called to witness, our own emotional response, and the voice of the Holy Spirit giving us words to witness to the Gospel (Luke 12:12).
We extend unconditional care and hospitality to all in the community. This means we do not treat people like “projects.” Every human being is made in God’s image so we love them as Christ loved us (John 13:35).
Experiencing the love of God through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit is the best thing that can happen to anyone. We want to share with caring and conviction how this love has shaped us (1 Peter 3:15, John 4:29).
We use invitation spaces for people who are unfamiliar with the Gospel to get a glimpse of Christian community and the Gospel in low-key environments. In these groups, we build relationships of trust with the community that God has placed around us. For more information, please contact Pastor Emmanuel.

Each gathering includes a 20-minute video exploring different aspects of Christianity and discussions in small groups. Diverse perspectives are welcome, so invite a friend.
