Church 2024
“To believe in the resurrection, then, is to believe that Jesus… is alive and at large in the world.”
Easter means that Jesus Christ is not a memory of history past, but a living Person, alive, at large, and on the loose in our present. During the weeks following Easter, the Christian community celebrates and reflects on the good news of resurrection. This Easter, at FPC, we’ll be listening together to a series of messages given by the risen Jesus to a series of seven churches on the coast of modern-day Turkey. They comprise Jesus’ final Scriptural word to his Church, here and now.
So, whether you’re just beginning to explore faith, or are a seasoned Christian, join us at FPC as we listen to Jesus teach us what it means to follow him together in 2024!
