This behavioral policy, in conjunction with our Church’s Child Protection Policy, is designed to lovingly guide children in making appropriate choices while maintaining a welcoming and structured atmosphere. This policy is used to address repeated disruptive or inappropriate behavior in a fair, loving, and consistent manner. It does so with a three step system.

CHET" KARAS Preschool Welcome Monitor OUR LEADERSHIP S E S S I O N (E L D E R S) As there were in Old Testament times elders for the government of the people, so the New Testament church provided persons with particular gifts to share in discernment of God’s Spirit and governance of God’s people. Accordingly, congregations should elect persons of wisdom and maturity of faith, having demonstrated skills in leadership and being compassionate in spirit. Ruling elders are so named not because they “lord it over” the congregation (Matt. 20:25), but because they are chosen by the congregation to discern and measure its fidelity to the Word of God, and to strengthen and nurture its faith and life. Ruling elders, together with ministers of the Word and Sacrament, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation as well as the whole church, including ecumenical relationships. When elected by the congregation, they shall serve faithfully as members of the session. - G 2.0301 Book of Order 2017-2019: The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

  • Who We Are | Pittsburgh, PA | Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church

    Our history and the ministries we started at FCPC. 1/1 WHO WE ARE Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church is a community of faith that has a rich tradition, vital new ministries, and an enduring legacy of mission outreach. OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE The Rev. Bickford Lang, upon becoming the first pastor of Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church, wrote these words as a preface to the Purpose and Charter of Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church in 1953: “Let us have a church that dares imitate the heroism of Jesus; seek inspiration as He sought it; act on the present like Him; pray as He prayed; work as He wrought; live as He lived." In the early 1950s, a group of families living in the Fox Chapel area began to worship together at Shadyside Academy. They became some of the 339 charter members of Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church, which was officially organized in October of 1953. Two months later, the chapel was built on the corner of Fox Chapel Rd. and Field Club Rd., and worship services started to be held on the site of the present church. The church facility has grown to include a Christian Education building, a Fellowship Hall, and the Sanctuary, which was completed in 1964. In recent history, the congregation engaged in a program of mission support and extension of facilities, including new Christian Education classrooms, an Atrium, Memorial Garden and Columbarium. For more than sixty years, the members, leaders and pastors of Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church have continued in the tradition expressed by its first pastor. Thousands of men, women, and children, past and present, have made up this particular family of faith, and the tradition of Christ-centered ministry in the Fox Chapel area has become an enduring legacy.
