Congregational Ministries

This ministry reaches out with the unconditional love and compassion of Jesus to those who seek to have a relationship with First Presbyterian Church of Bend.

Welcome Center

The FPC Welcome Center provides information right in the middle of The Commons on the wide variety of ministries and activities. Helpful hosts staff the facility Sundays, and office staff provide answers to questions, and requests for information, on weekdays. Check out the Welcome Center for the latest on what's up in all the programs of FPC.

Hospitality

One of the most request responses we hear from visitors and newcomes is that FPC provides an over-the-top welcome. The hospitality components of Congregational Ministires seeks to support coffee, refreshments and a warm and friendly welcome to everyone who enters here.

Connecting

All Are Welcome . . . Always! Everyone seeking God's love and grace connects with the life of First Presbyterian Church in individual ways. Congregational Ministries seeks to help connect everyone who seeks guidance or answers. We offer classes in various times through the year that describe FPC's vision, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the worship and ministry life of the congregation. If you wish to join in membership, we can facilitate that too. If you simply seek small groups or programs/projects with which to connect, just ask and we can guide you to them.
