The Mission Team at FPC
This month we highlight the Henderson Settlement and our upcoming mission trip June 23-27, 2024. Volunteers are vital to the ministry that Henderson Settlement provides to area residents. FPC members, along with family and friends, are invited to join us. All ages and abilities can serve! You will find there is something for everyone to experience the joy of helping others in need.
Work camp volunteers can assist in areas of outreach such as the Thrift store, food pantry, maintenance and repair, special community projects, watering plants in the greenhouse, volunteering in the office, helping maintain the library, or working with MIHOW (mothers & infants), youth, or senior ministries

In 1925, Hiram Frakes, a Methodist minister, came to the Laurel Fork Valley in southeastern Kentucky with a dream of educational, economic, and spiritual reform. Local families donated 123 acres of land and Frakes started a school for the area. It opened in the fall of 1925 with 13 students. That was the beginning of Henderson Settlement. The vision has shifted focus over years to meet the changing needs of the community.
Today, over 90 years later, Henderson Settlement still provides opportunities for the communities we serve.
The annual artisan market held the third Saturday in August, helps our church raise funds for local, state, and international church mission projects through the rental of booth space to our vendors, admission is free!
