The people of FPC take seriously the words of Jesus that as we serve others, we are in service to Him. Service is a vital part of our ministry, and all members of our church are called to be involved in service to others.

            Members of our church prepare and serve meals at Care Night, a place where a hot meal is served to anyone who comes. We work on Habitat for Humanity projects. We bake for Manna House where a noontime meal is served. We operate our own food pantry and provide food for anyone who comes. We support other missions like Anna’s House, Prison Fellowship, and Operation Christmas Child. We are dedicated to serving others in our world.

            We support over 17 missions. For many years, our church has  supported the West Virginia Mission Advocacy and Work Camps Ministry. This ministry serves the rural poor in West Virginia. There is a caring relationship with residents of this region, and work groups perform needed repairs to their homes. FPC is a major source of financial support for this mission.  

            We also support the Schmidt family who serves in the Wycliffe Bible Translators Mission in Kenya and the Forst family who has served in the New Tribes Mission in the Ivory Coast.

            Our church also runs the Shreffler House, the former parsonage of our church, which has been dedicated to serving the homeless of Harford County. For several years, the Shreffler House has been operated as a shelter for homeless people. It is one of the few shelters in the county that can accommodate an entire family.

            Each summer, our Senior High Youth Group, Christians in Service, participate in a mission trip to help those in need. Recent mission trips have been to Minnesota, Ohio, and upstate New York. As we are involved in mission, we serve our Lord Jesus.
