Saturday evening Worship is on hold for now, in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Weekly Worship at FPC

FPC celebrates two Sunday Worship services each week — an in-person gathering at 9 am and a virtual service at 10:30 am. 

In-Person Worship entails a simple screening process and social distancing. Everyone attending wears a mask.  All are welcome!  Please review the  Congregational Guidelines for Re-Gathering and view the FPC Gathering Together Again video before attending in-person Worship. 

Live-Streamed Worship: Our Sunday Worship live stream begins at 10:15 am with music; Worship starts at 10:30 am via the Frederick Presbyterian Church Facebook page.

Alcoholics Anonymous has received FPC’s support for more than 40 years. The church provides meeting rooms and kitchen space for more than 20 weekly meetings as well as seasonal all-night meetings. FPC also offers space for weekly meetings of Al-Anon, a support group for friends and family members of problem drinkers.

The first Sunday of every month, FPC congregants are encouraged to bring food or hygiene items to donate to the Frederick Food Bank. Donations are down, and the number of Food Bank clients is rising—people are in need year-round. Please bring donations with you to worship.

For more than 30 years, FPC has partnered with our neighborhood school, Parkway Elementary, to provide a mentoring program for children in grades K-1. The Parkway community liaison selects children for the weekly program, which includes crafts and educational activities, story time, and a nutritious dinner. The longest-running program of its kind in Frederick County Public Schools, Open Door is an intergenerational celebration of learning and relationship in a happy, loving environment.

The new Sunday School year kicks off on Sunday, September 15th, and continues through mid-June. Classes for children, teens, and adults meet at 9:30am on Sundays (one hour before Worship). All are welcome.
