If she's not in the office, she can often be found in her pottery studio finding some Sabbath! If you have trouble finding her there then she is off somewhere with her amazing husband, Phillip! Jaina is a wife, a mom, a grandmother, and also always hopes to be a friend.

Oh yeah, if you see Jaina out and about and she doesn't seem to recognize you, it's likely her identical twin, Hannah!

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe in the majesty and mercy of God, who is the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of all, and in Jesus Christ his only son. We gather together because God has called us to this place. We assemble not so much to share our thoughts and opinions, but to listen to the voice of God.

OUR HISTORY
FPC Sheffield was established in 1904. The brick structure we now occupy was completed in 1915 and remains a landmark in downtown Sheffield. While very proud of our history, we have continued to evolve to meet the spiritual needs of the present community.
We strive to be a place where people from all walks of life may grow together in God’s spirit and grace and to further God’s work . We invite you to join us in this exciting journey
WORSHIP
Worship is what one renders to God as the Greatest and Best. We believe that the Sunday worship hour is the centerpiece of our Christian week
We begin our Sunday service at 11:00 am each Sunday. You will experience a traditional service of sermon, song, prayer and sacrament. Review our weekly bulletin for more information on activities at FPC Sheffield.
