OUR COMMUNITY

Through financial gifts and hands-on labor, we support a number of community directed projects to improve the lives of city and county residents. 

Back to School Supplies

YATES PARK PROJECT – Betty Elder oversees this wonderful and necessary project annually.  FPC Henderson always participates in this vital program.  We help gather required school supplies for the whole county community.  It is indeed a great way to help our school children – now that is a mission and outreach project rolled into one. 

During the months of July and/or August, there are two back to school boxes in our church narthex where you can place your gathered and donated supplies. These boxes will be out until the deadline date and then our team will gather all the supplies and gratefully deliver them to the project coordinators.

Henderson Interchurch Ministry (HIM)

FPC Henderson is one of the founders of the Henderson Interchurch Ministry.  We continue to emphatically support this operation and its mission to help members of this loving community.  Members of the congregation bring food items for HIM Food Pantry on a regular basis but not less than once a month.  In addition, we also participate with the traditional holiday food baskets put together and delivered by HIM through this outreach project.  Our members volunteer and serve on the HIM Board of Directors.  Additionally, as a church we support HIM financially.

Meals-On-Wheels

Members of our Outreach Team, members of our congregation and friends of our congregation volunteer on Fridays to drive and deliver Meals-on-Wheels within our community.  Often, we are the only volunteers participating with those employed by Meals on Wheels.
