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

Our in-person and virtual Sunday Worship services are both at 10:30 am.
For those attending Worship in person, childcare is available (for babies and children through age 5 years). In response to CDC guidelines, we are once again wearing masks for indoor Worship.

For those attending Worship virtually, we go live on the Frederick Presbyterian Church Facebook page  at 10:25 am. Click here for the Worship guide. We keep an archive of virtual Sunday Worship services on the FPC YouTube page.

Save the Dates!

Safe Sanctuary trainings
Safe Sanctuary trainings are required for FPC volunteers who interact with children or youth, perform home visits on behalf of FPC, interact with vulnerable adults, or are deacons or members of Session. If you haven’t yet attended, please come on Sunday, October 17, immediately after Worship.

Adult Sunday School Returns
Deb Reynolds will present “Food Sovereignty for All: A Look at Food Insecurity in Frederick County and How Faith-Based Communities Are Making a Difference.” Learn about food insecurity in our county from some of the organizations that are working to bridge the gap. What is food sovereignty, and how can FPC join other faith-based communities to help create it? Sundays at 9:30 am, beginning October 17 and running through November 7. 

Rise Against Hunger
Help package meals that will go to hungry people worldwide. Sunday, October 24, after Worship.

Virtual Gatherings
Seasoned and Spirited Coffee Hour meets Mondays at 9:30 am. Come chat with friends!

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.
