Local Outreach - Old

At FPC, many of our outreach ministries seek to empower children and families around Richmond through new and long-standing partnerships. This year, we encourage you to get involved with our partners serving children and families in the East End: Henry L. Marsh III Elementary School, Martin Luther King Middle School, and the Armstrong Leadership Program, which serves Armstrong High School. In addition to our recurring Outreach opportunities, we encourage you to contribute your time and talents to our valued partnerships in the East End. Contact Rev. Derek Starr Redwine to learn more about how you can participate.
