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
Our faith is rooted in the belief of God's majesty, mercy, and role as the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all. We come together in response to God's call and prioritize listening to His voice over sharing our own thoughts and opinions.

OUR HISTORY
Established in 1904, FPC Sheffield has been a landmark in Sheffield since the completion of its brick structure in 1915. While proud of its history, the church has evolved to meet the spiritual needs of the present community. FPC Sheffield strives to be a place where people from all walks of life can grow together in God's spirit and grace, and invites you to join them on this exciting journey.
WORSHIP
At FPC Sheffield, we consider worship as the highest form of devotion to God. Our Sunday service, which starts at 11:00 am, is the highlight of our Christian week. You can expect a traditional service that includes a sermon, songs, prayers, and sacraments. Please feel at home and sign our guest book so we can get to know you better.
