What To Expect
How long is a normal service?
Our traditional service runs from 8:30am to 9:30am, and our contemporary service runs from 10:45am to 11:45am. In between, we offer various Sunday School classes for all ages: Children, Student, Adult, Special Needs, and Senior Classes from 9:30am to 10:45am. Our services consist of a time of gospel-centered worship followed by scripturally founded preaching. Plan to hang around after the service for fellowship and meeting new people!

What's the culture like at FBCP?
Here at FBCP we care about people and relationships; come as you are! We dress casually and are a blend of people from all walks of life. From infants to elderly, there's a place for you and your family here. You can expect greeters located at each entrance to help you navigate the building and answer any questions you may have. They will happily direct you to the Sunday School class of your choice, show you the children's department and nursery, and help in any way needed. We also have spaces in our sanctuary set aside for wheelchair seating, wheelchair access from our front door, and an elevator to second floor classes.
