Our core values make up three different E-ministries (Elevate, Edify, and Expand) which serve to enact FPC EM’s mission statement in the areas of worship, building up the body, and outreach/missions. Many of our members actively serve in one or more of these E-ministries which are led by the congregation’s deacons. FPC EM is governed by the pastor, deacon board, and servant team.

Other members serve in FPC’s Education Department consisting of Preschool Ministry (PM), Children’s Ministry (CM), and Youth Group (YG), which contain children from both our EM and KM families. All of these services are conducted in English and take place at 11:15 am, coinciding with our KM second service. Our EM congregation does its best to support these ministries by providing staff and volunteers for various events such as Vacation Bible School and Hallelujah Night each year. At this time, FPC does not currently have a college ministry. Once students graduate from high school, those who stay in the area make the transition to our English Ministry.

Along with these various opportunities to serve, most of our members are committed to a community group, a group of around 7-12 people with whom they can go deeper in the Word, prayer, and fellowship. We also have weekly online prayer meetings on Wednesdays focused on lifting up the church, the world, our global partners, and individual needs and requests. As mentioned above, missions is a significant focus of our congregation. Every Monday, various prayer requests for God’s global work are sent out via email to our members to pray for. EM members also have the opportunity to become Kingdom Partners who prayerfully and financially support our seven Global Partners in their ministries to unreached places and peoples. In 2023, over 40% of our EM budget was spent toward missions/outreach, and we are expected to spend 35% this year in 2024.
