SERVE

"Even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..."

Mark 10:45

Outreach and servanthood is part of our identity as a church family at Fellowship of Praise Church. There are multiple ways to plug in and serve both inside and outside our church walls. After going through FOP Connect, it is our goal to help each member of our church family get connected to a ministry where their gifts and talents can be used and grown. Below is a list of active ministry areas within our church. To get involved in any of these areas, fill out an Info Form, indicate which areas you are most interested in getting connected with, and a leader from that ministry will reach out to you with next steps and training opportunities!
