About Us
Extending The Hospitality Of Jesus
Hospitality was central to Jesus’ ministry and teaching. He welcomed those who were outcasts and marginalized to join him at the dinner table and engaged with a wide variety of people to demonstrate the breadth of God’s love and welcome.
In a world that seems more and more divided along so many fronts, FCCOE seeks to embrace that spirit of hospitality. We strive for unity even as we may disagree on some of the issues of the day and we support each other through life’s ups and downs.

We break bread at the Lord’s table every month and gather around tables in our fellowship hall and each other’s homes to learn more about Jesus and each other in our walks of faith.
​
We seek to minister to our local community and the broader world to be a force for love and hope in the face of the many challenges we all face. We would love for you to join us and come see for yourselves what a loving community looks like today.
