The Couples Club extends a warm welcome to committed couples of all ages (dating, engaged or married, gay or straight) to meet other couples, develop new friendships and maintain relationships with old friends. The Club meets regularly for fun and fellowship. We engage in a wide range of activities, on our own and with the wider FAPC family. Many events are held in conjunction with NEXT Couples and Parents Night Out, a program of Family Ministries.
