STEP UP / SIGN UP
Worship | Grow | Serve
We believe the local church is here for a purpose: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We also believe the church is here for God's mission to help others find this same purpose. At the heart of every program here at FPC Thomasville is the hope that you and your family would mature in faith, be encouraged in the gospel, and be equipped to share its life-changing message with others. Meaningful membership requires a place to Worship, Grow, and Serve. That pattern of life together bears the fruit of spiritual maturity and initiative. It is our hope that you will find a community of faith here.
We offer two Sunday morning services with complementary styles - casual and traditional. Just as different languages can carry the same meaning, so can differences in worship have the same aim. Common to both services is warm fellowship, rich worship and vibrant Gospel preaching and teaching. Whichever your preference, we are blessed to participate in both with excitement and authenticity. Come as you are!
At FPC, we envision every member finding opportunities to grow in relationship with God and in fellowship with others. We offer a variety of adult ministry groups to provide you with an opportunity to foster community and spiritual growth.

LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups are a vital part of church membership! Joining a Life Group is a fantastic way to connect with others in our congregation while seeking to grow in our faith. Over the course of the school year (Fall and Spring semesters), Life Groups (typically consisting of 8-10 individuals—both couples and singles) meet twice a month in members’ homes at a scheduled time which best fits each individual group. Upon sign-up, your group leader will reach out to identify the best day and time for all group members. We hope you will join a Life Group!
