Thanks for checking out FCC. I know that when I first looked into this church in the spring of 2021, I was drawn by the warm people, the clear vision and the church’s desire to make a loving impact in the lives of their neighbors. It spoke to my calling to make sure everyone knows they are beloved and capable children of God—especially those who have been told (often by churches) that they aren’t. And, as someone who is a foodie and has spent over a dozen years in the restaurant and hospitality industry, I was bowled over by this church’s sense of gracious hospitality! Before Canton, our family—my partner Caitlin, and sons Isaac and Finn—had lived in Lincoln, NE, but we are glad to be here!
This congregation may have over 130 years of loving God and neighbor, but together, we’re cultivating a spirit of hopeful expectation that God’s always up to something good and new! I’m always open to suggestions for a good buffalo wing spot, bar trivia or live music. And when I’m not at church, keeping up with my boys’ schedules or walking our dogs, I’m usually playing pickleball or in a Zumba class!
I’m grateful that in this busy, stressful world, there is a church like FCC to find support, friendship and a safe and welcoming place to raise our kids as followers of Jesus. I hope you'll be as drawn to this community as I am.
