about
Mercy Ministry
Gathering those who fear they are not enough, so we may experience grace, wholeness, and renewal as God’s beloved.
Heeding Jesus’ call to mercy, the Mercy Ministry serves those in need in our greater community so that we may grow into God’s Kingdom where all are welcomed, have a place, and know they are beloved.
Team Leader: Sue Armstrong
Welcome Table
Since 2011, Welcome Table has provided free meals to those in our community. Meals are served on the first and third Wednesday of the month from 4 to 6 p.m. Guests may take their meal to go or dine inside our Fellowship Hall.
Welcome Table Chair: Gail Robarge
Hypothermia Shelter
FCPC has hosted a temporary hypothermia shelter each winter since 2022. Working with the Fairfax County’s Hypothermia Prevention Program, we house and feed up to 40 guests for one week during the hypothermia season. Volunteers are needed.
Nourish our Neighbors
Nourish our Neighbors supports the Knox Presbyterian Food Pantry through Falls Church Community Service Council, Inc. Donations of full-size toiletry items are given to Welcome Table guests at the first Wednesday dinner. Both Knox and Welcome Table donations may be dropped off at the white cupboard in the main hallway at any time. Items are sorted and delivered to Knox at the end of each month.
