Sunday Worship at FPCR
In worship, we joyfully praise and honor the triune God.
In worship, we acknowledge God's presence in the world and in our lives.
In worship, we offer our time, talents, and treasures to God.
In worship, we are equipped to serve God in the world.
We believe that worship, witness and service are one and the same.
Worship is a response to our calling as individuals — and a reflection of our commitment as a body of believers.
Join us, and find an experience that’s warm and familiar, thoughtful and intentional, engaging and challenging.
Every Sunday at 10:30 AM, you may join us in person in the Sanctuary, or online via livestream. All worship elements are available on the homepage of the website.
Communion and Baptism
We partake of communion on the first Sunday of each month. During communion, we remember God’s covenant promise — and we pledge our obedience by sharing the bread and cup. We serve alcohol-free grape juice and gluten-free wafers.
We recognize baptism as the cornerstone of Christian commitment. Baptism (by sprinkling of water) is offered to children of FPCR members, as well as any candidate willing to proclaim their faith.
We'd love to welcome you into Christ’s body and into this family.
Sunday School
We have two different adult Sunday School classes that meet at 9:00 am every Sunday. You are welcome to join these classes at any time!
The “Coffee Class” meets in Room A111, down by the chapel. This conversation based class discusses a variety of topics of interest to thoughtful Christians. And of course, coffee will always be served!
The Present Word Class meets in Room A109, also down by the chapel. This curriculum based class aims to have participants know the content of the Bible, understand the message of the Bible in light of their experiences and relationships, and be aware of God’s redeeming love in our lives.
Childcare During Worship
While children are welcome in all of the worship services at FPCR, we realize that sitting through an entire worship service can be challenging for our youngest friends, not to mention their parents! Each week following the Time with Tiny Theologians, childcare is provided for children kindergarten age and younger. Just meet at the back of the sanctuary and someone will show you where to go.
SUNDAY SCHOOL | 9:00-10:15 am
Our children are currently divided into two age appropriate classes and are greeted and led by loving, trained teachers. The teachers, music leaders and assistants communicate Christ’s love to each child through music, crafts, and Bible stories.
NURSERY | 9-11:00 am
FPCR is happy to provide a safe, loving environment for our youngest members and friends. Well-trained caregivers provide attention to infants and toddlers during worship, Sunday School, and other church events.
