Join us this year for our Reformation Weekend, October 28-30, 2022.
Why should we give attention to the Protestant Reformation? It could be argued that no single event in the last 500 years has done more to shape our modern world. Much of the liberty and prosperity of America and the Western world can be traced back to what happened in the 16th century.
Every year at Faith FPC, we set aside the last weekend of October to give consideration to our Protestant heritage, and we would like you and your family to enjoy this blessing with us.
