CHURCH STAFF - The Foreside Community Church staff is always ready to assist you. The church office is open Monday - Thursday, from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm, when Sandy Panenka, our Office Manager, is on duty. Brian Wilson, Minister of Music, is in the building quite often. Each of us has a confidential voice mail box for messages, and can be reached via email.

HOSPITAL VISITATION - Stephen is always happy to call upon folks who are sick and in the hospital, but in these days when the congregation is large and hospital stays are increasingly short, word of your hospitalization doesn't always reach them in time. If you or a loved one are going into the hospital, please let Stephen know.

Hearing aids are available for those who need them, and an elevator is available for the handicapped.

We have fellowship together

for coffee and conversation after the Sunday Worship Services. Other activities include pot luck suppers, youth and adult group activities, our own special Christmas Fair, and a host of other activities. See the Fellowship section below for more.

We study together

In many ways. Our Christian Education Ministry is active in both youth and adult education. See the Christian Education page for more details.

We serve together

Both inside and outside the congregation. Our Congregational Visitors support our minister in caring for the needs and concerns of the congregation through home and hospital visits. Other groups provide meals for those in need.

We offer our space for the use by AA and an afternoon day care facility.
