FPC Pastors
The table below, extracted from the main 2024 "History" pdf, lists 37 pastors who have served FPC since its founding in 1840. It does include several interim or other shorter term transitional pastors, but probably does not inclue all interims. Of the 37, 4 are known to be interim or equivalent, leaving 33 "permanent" pastors.
Of these, many, especially in the first 100 years or so, are known to be part time or to have shared pastor duties while at FPC with another church, such as at Hopewell. And the first 3 on the list have overlapping serving terms.
This page will provide additional historical information about many of these pastors.
