FARRAGUT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

WELCOME TO FPC

Farragut Presbyterian Church is located in beautiful East Tennessee, just west of Knoxville, TN.  We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

SUNDAY WORSHIP:   8:30am & 11:00am         SUNDAY SCHOOL:     9:45am - 10:45am

             PASTORS:   Rev. Dr. Thom Nelson        Rev. Colleen Curtis                            


Upcoming Events

Dinner, study and evening prayer
Our Wed. evening study resumes on September 8, at 6pm.  The Study is led by Dr. Nelson on The Scots Confession.  A Blood thirsty Queen, a baby King and six fiery Scots—and presto…the Scots Confession of 1560.  Potluck salad, fun, learning and prayer—sounds great.  Children have their own program.

Kids Program

Attention kids grades two through five!  A new program for you will kick off on Wednesday evening, September 15!  We will meet each week for fun, dinner, music and stories at 5:30.  We'll finish up at 7:30 each night.  The recreation time will include some active games and some fun science activities.  Dinners will be kid-friendly, and we may ask your family to help prepare a meal at times.  The music will be exciting and a little more challenging than what we do on Sunday mornings.  The study time will be a fun look at some stories from the Bible.  We'll change things up a bit in December, and will invite younger children to attend, as we prepare for a Christmas program. Contact Mary Boyd with any questions

Attention Interested Visitors

The fall series of Inquirer’s Classes will be help September 19, 26 and October 3.  We will meet in the library at 9:40 am, with light refreshments.  This is a way to spend time with our pastors, find out about the committees and outreach projects here at FPC, and review a bit of local church and denominational history.  If interested, please speak with Thom or Colleen, call the church office at 966-9547, or mark a RSVP card found in the pew racks.
