Expanding the vision...
Our founding pastor, Pastor Sam Smith was a graduate of the charter class of RHEMA Bible Training College in 1975. During his years of ministry at FCC, Pastor Sam was a pastor to many pastors, and although he officially ‘retired’ from ministry in 1999, he continued to fill that role until he went home to be with the Lord in June, 2006.
After his official retirement in 1999, he delegated the pastorate to his associate pastor, Rev. David Marquard. Pastor David and his wife Ann were longtime members of FCC. Pastor David pastored FCC from 2000-2008.
Pastor John L. Pfeffer, Jr. with his wife Anita began serving the FCC community in leadership roles beginning in 1989 and Pastor John faithfully began serving as the lead pastor in December of 2008. Pastor John and Anita retired in January of 2023 but continue to remain active as part of the FCC community and leadership team.
