Fellowship is an important aspect of any family and so it is with us. We have frequent congregational lunches and dinners. There are volleyball teams, groups who attend plays, adult fellowship meals, older adult fellowship groups, and many more activities for all ages. Find one that enriches your faith!
Loaves & Fishes Groups
FPC has a long tradition of “Loaves & Fishes” groups. We currently have two active groups. These groups are made up of church members who usually gather once a month for food and fellowship. Most meet regularly in the home of a member while others change location from month to month.
Loaves & Fishes Groups are open to new folks joining and we are always open to beginning a new group. If you would like to join an existing group, please contact the church office to be connected to a group facilitator.
Presbyterian Women
The Presbyterian Women (PW) meets at noon on the first Wednesday of each month (Sept. to April). The group has a tradition of active mission, faithful service, and lively study. PW provides a wide variety of activities for all women to serve the congregation, the community, our presbytery, and the larger church.
Activities include:
- Annual Women’s Mini-Retreat
- Advent Vespers fellowship reception
- Assembly of Church World Service hygiene, school, and baby kits during the annual “Kits for Kids” event

FPC Men's Group
Presbyterian Men meet the first and third Mondays at 9 am. On the first Monday they meet at the Hofmann farm where different ones share part of their life story with the group. On the third Monday they meet at church and have a Bible study led by Jim Crabtree.
Presbyterian Women (PW) Circles
PW Circles offers monthly (September to May) opportunities for Bible study and fellowship:
- Monthly Bible Study meets at 10:30 a.m. on the first Wednesday of the month in the McAfee Room (map)
- Afternoon Circle meets at 12:45 p.m. on the second Thursday monthly in the church parlor (map).
PW Circles gather to visit, pray, share joys and sorrows, and study God’s word. For some, Circle offers a time to relax and be among friends who care for you unconditionally. For some, Circle offers the discipline of studying the Bible. For some, Circle offers a connection to the service work of the church through the broader mission efforts of Presbyterian Women and the PC(USA). A PW Circle is waiting for you! Contact Brenda Waters for more information.

Activities range from sightseeing trips to experiencing the plays, restaurants, and museums of Mid-Missouri.
