“Exhibit within the church and before the world the exemplary moral authority of sympathy, witness and service after the example of Jesus Christ.”
Earl s. johnson, jr. | The Presbyterian Deacon: An Essential Guide
The Deacons of FPCS support numerous non-profit agencies in both our local community and Presbytery through our financial contributions. In addition, we care for members of our congregation and foster community through our efforts & service.
Within our own congregation, we support our Christian Education Committee by donating the youth curriculum and materials for adult Bible Study. We also provide a $100 scholarship to help with the enrollment fee at Camp Johnsonburg for our children & youth to attend during the summer.
In an effort to support our mission of partnering with our community, the Deacons also offer each youth in our congregation a $50 mini-grant yearly to enable them to partner with another outreach agency.
Roxbury Social Services:
We participate in drives & collections throughout the year – including the Back to School Backpacks Collection & Thanksgiving Drives.
