How do you raise children in the city and grow together as a family of faith? These are questions the community here at FAPC seeks to answer as we honestly sort through the complexities of city life and absorb the generosity and support of other families.

FAPC’s Family Ministries is a place where kids can be kids and parents can find kindred hearts and minds. We are people from diverse backgrounds and families of various definitions who find commonality in our desire to raise healthy children and sustain strong faith and relationships.

We offer programs, classes and events designed to develop faith, increase knowledge, divide burdens, share joys and have fun as we grow in Christ. We gather for Fall Festivals, Christmas parties, parent’s nights, sing-a-longs, family camps, mission trips, choir performances and weekly on Sunday mornings. A brief description of our Sunday morning options is listed below and information on other Family Ministries events can be found throughout the Website.
