How We Live Our Faith
Faith is an active, living journey rooted in worship, intentional care, discipleship, and hands-on mission.
We Worship
Find peace for an hour at our 10:00 a.m. Sunday service in person or online. Step away from the noise of the world to pause, reflect, and celebrate God’s grace alongside special holy day services throughout the year.
We Love
We show up for one another with compassionate, intentional care. From campus fellowship to confidential, one-to-one Stephen Ministry, nobody walks through life’s transitions alone.
We Grow
We are a community that learns, listens, and asks big questions at every stage of life. Deepen your roots through Sunday School, youth ministry, adult classes, Men’s Fellowship, and Presbyterian Women circles.
We Serve
Our faith moves actively beyond our walls. We partner locally and globally with vital organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army to fight hunger, build homes, and extend grace.

We have a great partnership with the University, as many of our choir soloists have been FGCU students and have sung with the Chamber Choir. The service always concludes with the choir surrounding the congregation after the benediction and singing “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.”
