• Habitat for Humanity
• Salvation Army
• Red Cross
• Partners in Education
• Youth Town
• Boys and Girls Club
• CASA
• Good Samaritan Fund
• JACOA
• Health and Hearing Clinic
• Meals on Wheels
• Brighter Christmas Fund
• Share Fest
• Heifer International 
• Rivers of the World  (ROW) 

We also sponsor Helping Hands, a sewing ministry that makes lap quilts and walker bags for nursing home and hospital patients. Helping Hands is currently involved in sewing for Sew Much Comfort, a non-denominational ministry providing "dignity garments" for those men and women who have been injured while protecting our country. Garments are modified with Velcro and elastic access to accommodate bandages and prostheses. FPC also proudly sponsors Threads of Love, a sewing ministry that makes infant burial gowns and clothes for babies in incubators.
