Local Ministry Partners

We support a number of local partners and ministries who are loving neighbors, making disciples and pursuing the shalom of our city. We even share space on our campus with two churches and the gangs to job ministry, Hope Now for Youth. One of those churches provides food for the unhoused every Tuesday morning.  

We'd love to help you step into volunteer opportunities with these partners. FPCers can be found doing Literacy Mentoring with Every Neighborhood Partnership, Jail Visitation with Central Valley Connect, leading worship at the Fresno Mission, staffing the First Fruits free market at City Center, or supporting families in crisis through Care Portal. Contact Terry Jaurena to explore possibilities.

ArtHop

We have gallery and are an offical ArtHop Venue because it provides a unique opportunity to connect with & love our neighbors: those who create art & those who enjoy viewing art. The 1st Thursday of most months we feature new artwork & welcome the community to come & see. We invite the congregation to participate by hosting in our gallery and/or visiting other venues. 

Interested in hosting a 1st Thursday or displaying your art? 

Serving our City

We seize opportunities to serve our city as we seek to love our neighbors and pursue shalom. You'll find us praying over schools as the year begins, serving at the Food Bank, helping at a Beautify Fresno event, and lots more. Sometimes we gather groups to participate in these events. Other times, we just publicize them and hope our people respond. Organized opportunities will be in the events below.

Go Teams

This is where Loving our Neighbors and Making Disciples meet and a real community explores ways to GO to a particular people with a shared commitment for the purpose of growing disciples. 

Our Good News Club GO team partners with Child Evangelism Fellowship to do Good News Clubs on two elementary campuses close to FPC, sharing about Jesus. They also host family events to deepen relationships find ways to love on these families in the name of Jesus. 

Our Greek Row GO team starts to build relationships with  students in Fraternities & Sororities by passing out hotdogs during CSUF home games. They creatively build on those relationships as the Lord leads.
