They’ve also been working on the floor in the hallway of the old church building to repair and lay new flooring! Thanks so much , Jay and Angie!!!
Purvis Hymn Sing
One of our favorite traditions here at FCPC is to have hymn sings together at the Purvis home. Over the years, we have had some amazing nights and hold these memories dear to our hearts. Here are a few samplings of the sorts of songs we sing.
Living Stones Dedication Service
Today is not an ending. Today is a beginning. We built a building that is not intended to remain empty, and the challenge remains before us as we pray and work to see how God is going to use this facility.
Brighton ARP Mission Team
A mission team from Brighton ARP got the Living Stones Building project started in 2009 by taking down the first of 2 old sheds on the old Curtis House property!! We are thankful for this and all the work Brighton ARP did at FCPC over the years!
