About Cindy

I grew up in northern New Jersey and moved to Richmond after graduating from William and Mary. I appreciate the Richmond pace of life and its proximity to the mountains and the ocean.

I came to FPC after years of being a music minister at a church in Mechanicsville, a position I retired from to explore other interests. I’m now a trained Certified Music Practitioner with the harp, able to provide therapeutic music by the bedside. I’m a widow and have two adult sons, Kevin and Connor.

I’m so happy to be part of the FPC staff and I’m especially enjoying the Centering Prayer group and getting to know this warm, generous, and hospitable church family.

Leadership

Elders are charged with the oversight of the life of our congregation – leading, governing, and caring for its members.  Both individually and collectively (as the Session), elders provide leadership in worship, teaching, mission, evangelism, care and nurture.  Along with the pastors, the elders are the shepherds of the flock.

Deacons are charged with the sympathy, witness and service for all our members. Deacons are persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies and sound judgment. Both individually and collectively (as the Diaconate), deacons provide compassionate care for all church members.
