No elevator stares (the up and down judging looks) or emails or letters saying come to our church and tithe, In fact, take a few months to just be a guest. As a guest you genuinely are not expected to tithe, But absorb the community. See if we are a good fit for you God adores us. He knit us in our mother's womb. He knows every thought , desire, hope and our hurts There is a spiritual warfare going on daily, in our marriages, in our schools, at work and on every news channel Satan is very strategic the way that he whispers in our ear. "Go back to bed., sleep another hour. You can miss this Sunday. Nobody will notice." The truth is, you are gifted with certain qualities that are needed and wanted in our world Please don't miss out.

They expanded the church dramatically and it is beautiful. The church; growing up was small, always packed during masses but it was cozy. The church community has grown drastically, and even though they expanded the church itself to triple the size it was, during mass, it is still packed. That is how popular this church is. They offer a lot of masses throughout the week and there are always events and special masses going on. I don't attend mass as often as one should; a lot of us are guilty on that. The community is so welcoming though and to just attend one, you may enjoy it enough to go back. It's so beautiful inside and new. Lots of details, very large inside and seating is a semi circle around the alter. Give it a try.

Many of the luminaries of American history sat in its pews. There is a feeling of history and dignity in every square inch of the church. True to its Unitarian tradition, they have dispensed with the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, the entire Nicean Creed and revealed truth. It is a true Humanistic ritual in the nature of Unitarian Universalist thought of the Founding Fathers. The sermons are packed with young worshippers and many stay afterwards to socialize and then head off to the many coffee houses in the area. Truly an outstanding place.

The warm and welcoming atmosphere is truly special--everyone makes you feel right at home. The pastor is exceptional at capturing your attention, delivering messages that are not only engaging but also deeply rooted in the word of God. His ability to both entertain and enlighten is a rare gift that keeps you connected throughout the service. One of the best parts of this church is the variety of groups you can get involved in. I'm part of the soccer group, and it's been an absolute blast. The people are wonderful, and it really feels like a family both during and after church. The connections I've made here have been invaluable, and I've learned so much through the sermons, growing closer to God in the process. If you're considering whether or not to attend, I wholeheartedly invite you to join us. I hope you'll find a group that resonates with you, and I wish you a blessed day. Thank you for reading!

FPCC has a blend of contemporary and traditional music - all done respectfully. No blaring PA systems to cater to people like a rock concert. A real desire to grow spiritually, a number of Bible studies, and other events to become active in. FPCC has a Mission Statement, Values, etc., statements, too now. We are focusing on where we want to go as a church, what we want to do and how we want to grow spiritually as well as how to reach out in various ways as the Stone Church By The Lake spiritually and otherwise. I am excited and expectant of this congregation's heart, desire to grow Biblically and the direct we are going! I highly recommend this to anyone of any age - the youngest, youth, young adults and adults. FPCC wants to make a difference and is activated to do so!

Hello. I would like to share a story recently. Quite frankly ai was shocked at the behavior of a…read moremale parishioner. We were at the clothes closet this past Saturday and a purse broke through the plastic bag. A large tote purse so that was put in the car. As we were getting some clothes this male parishioner went up to my husband and said this is your third bag. Now we donate lots of clothes to the church over the past ten years. Recycling is terrific. However I feel that is no parishioners place to say such words to people. They are not his belongings. Nor should he cover them in anyway. They are gifts by the parishioners and others. This could have been potentially humiliating to another individual. No one knows the circumstances people have. And is most ungodly to covet gifts given in charity by others. It just so happened we brought two bags of donations that day and I myself assisted in putting our numerous pairs of shoes. The male parishioner did apologize after he was taken up verbally on the matter. I would hope the church would address this behavior at Sunday worship to remind the workers not to verbally accuse others of unbefitting behavior. I had worked for a local homeless agency in the next town for over ten years and we would never approach a person if we thought they had to much. It wasn't our place. Even morally. We gave out what we had until it was gone. A good reminder is that these are gifts meant for people and to take what they need. It is not a state agency with criteria and restriction. Nor in anyway a place where prior lists for things are needed and paperwork filled out and approved. It a church of giving and the good Lord gives without any scoldings. For shame on this individual.

This church is AMAZING…read more Both my wife and I loved the service and the passionate people who make up such a great and welcomed addition to the city of Lowell!! Being 1st time guest we were warmly welcomed by the church's body of both other consistent parishioners, Pastor and Elder. The church building itself is large, bright, and has a club (not like Webster hall) like auto system It's also nicely laid out. Extra space for the kids to run around and play a simple game is catch with a small nerve foot ball in side a church.....Yes you read that right play foot ball inside a church. How could you not love this??? God and NFL. You get the vibe from looking at the outside of the building that this is a True church that was build for the decades to follow and updated with love, passion and attention to every last detail. I was immediately hit with the sense that something very special is going on in this place. Bigger then any one can really wrap there mind around in my opinion The whole church not just the building but more importantly the body that makes up the church has an amazing and truly inspirational story. I believe that the church is only as big, spiritual, humble, and loving as the people who worship there and you will find all of these people in this House of God. The pastor him self is very laid back, down to earth and personable. (3words same meaning I know) He has been gifted with a naturally organic gift to spread The Gospel. Is it bad if I say I would grab a beer with him?? He's sermon become full circle when he applied a teaching that the Bible tells us occurred over 2K years ago and brought it home when he told us how we all have Spears throw at us in our daily life and gave us ways spears can be low point we face daily. He also made a valid point when it was said it's how we face those challenging times that make us better. It's about pulling the spares out of the wall or keeping it in and not questioning Gods well. (Kinda wordy but I can't seem to put this paragraph in less words) I would be bat $hi% crazy and need to see Chip the church's sole elder and Medical Doctor if he was a psychologist (he's not he's a vascular surgeon) if I did not mention the music leader. I know the entire music staff is truly gifted, it takes a LOT to go on stage and sing, but I did not hear there voices well. Back to the music leader- Her voice is powerful enough to transmit and carries through out this large church. She has tones of grit and grace If that make any sense. I was setting there and just said to my self her voice is gracefully grit. What a gift/talent she has!!! She is not only singing but playing the keyboard. She writes her own songs and dose not sing your grandfathers Christian music, hers is upbeat and happy. The music is sang with beauty and such grace. The songs have deep really deep meaningful meaning that are put up on a huge projector on stage. The church has a growing congregation it seem as they had about 50/60 people when I want today. They just launched in November of 2015. Here's what I loved the most; all the people were unique in there own God given way. Young, old, Black, Asian, Hispanic, White. Christians, Catholics and maybe even non- believers. Just a great group of people that care for one another enjoying great music followed by a well thought out sermon given by a man who dose not make it seem like he's giving you Bible lessons but more friendly wisdom that happens to be in a church and he is just so happens to be a Christian Pastor You can't afford not to go to this church. My wife and I are looking forward to going again at some point hopefully be able to partake in the Lord's Last Supper as they don't do it weekly. We're Also looking forward to seeing the fully immersion Baptisms and in the words of Chip "The BIG banquet that follows."
