About us
Rev. Jaina Glaze, LPC
Jaina serves as our pastor. She has a Bachelor of Science in Education, Language Arts from Athens State University. She received a Master of Divinity Degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia, a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Alabama, and an EdS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville State University. Jaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Alabama (license #4507) and has been in the ministry since 2005. She has been at our church since early 2014. Jaina offers counseling to the community as a fee-based service, and offers counseling free to members of First Presbyterian Church in Sheffield.
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
Rooted in the authority of Scripture and the historic Book of Confessions, we believe in one Triune God whose supreme sovereignty and grace offer salvation as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ. We affirm the priesthood of all believers, holding that every Christian has direct access to God and a unique calling to ministry. Guided by these truths, we practice our faith through two sacraments—Baptism for both infants and adults, and Communion at a table open to all who trust in Christ. We govern ourselves democratically through a representative system of elected pastors and elders, and we actively express God's love.
OUR HISTORY
Established in 1904, FPC Sheffield has been a landmark 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.
