What To Expect

Whether you attend church regularly or have never set foot in a church of any kind, The First Pentecostal Church of Marion is an exciting place to be. The things that are meaningful to God are the things that are meaningful to us – and that includes the chance to know you and help you know the Lord better and more deeply.

Through vibrant worship, relevant preaching and teaching from the Bible and an attitude of love, FPC of Marion strives to help people lead authentic Christian lives in a world of rapidly shifting values. We walk together, helping each other understand God’s Word and the lives God wants us to live.
