Parking at FPC

Parking Updates

We continue to work to make parking options at FPC more accessible and convenient. To this end, we would like to share the following updates:

  • On Easter, Sunday, April 9, we will have four worship services at 8:15 AM and 11 AM in the Sanctuary and 9:15 AM and 10:45 AM in Grand Hall. Parking is available in the North Lot and outside of the Welcome Center (South Entrance), however, we encourage you to utilize the covered parking available in the MFAH parking garage, accessed from entrances on Montrose or Main. Free parking in the MFAH garage is available until 1 PM. 
  • Our parking lot shuttle service is fully operational and can now be requested via phone. To request a pick-up, please call the Parking Lot Shuttle Driver at 832-454-5293 for assistance. And don’t forget to save the number in your phone for future use!
  • The Sanctuary driveway is now accessible for convenient drop-off, in addition to the existing options at the Palm Court and Welcome Center driveways. To utilize the Sanctuary drop-off area, simply pull through the Sanctuary driveway, stop at the crosswalk, let passengers out, and park your car in either the North Lot or MFAH parking garage. There will be staff available to assist at the Sanctuary driveway if needed.
  • To provide additional ease-of-access options for those with mobility challenges, we are adding six “Limited Mobility” spaces to the North Lot. These spaces should be available by the end of the month.

If you have additional questions about parking options at FPC, email Hunter Johnson at hjohnson@fpchouston.org
