OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT for FPC COVINGTON!

FPC Covington is a Christian community existing to glorify God by welcoming all of God’s children. We celebrate through serving, teaching, praying, eating, crying, and dancing with the Holy Spirit. As works in progress, we seek to respond to God’s presence in our church, lives, and community. 
Our Strategic Planning Team and Session want to share with you our new Mission Statement and Core Values! We hope you will plan to attend one of our church round table conversations to learn more about how you can be a part of living out our new mission statement!!

We have adopted Fairview Elementary School this year. Earlier in the year we took school supplies for the students. For November we are “treating” the teachers. We invite members and friends of FPC to bring goodies which we will deliver each Friday of November. There will be a basket in the narthex in which to place your prepackaged treats. Sorry, we cannot take homemade goodies. Our first Friday is November 5. Please deliver your donations to the church by noon on Thursday of each week to help fill up the Red Basket for the teachers.
