MEET OUR PASTORS
With over 40 years of faithful service to the city of Tampa, Revs. Fitz and Kathy Conner passionately lead First Pres Tampa. With their roots in Young Life, their ministry focuses on real relationships and real transformation with others through discipleship, biblical application, and helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Earning their degrees together at Fuller Seminary, they continue to be lifelong learners of scripture and avid apprentices of Jesus. In their free time Fitz and Kathy enjoy playing golf, walking their dog, Tally, and spending time with their family.

NEW MESSAGE SERIES BEGINS SUNDAY MAY 3RD
If May feels a little like December—packed calendars, end-of-year celebrations, deadlines, and just trying to keep up—you’re not alone. Somewhere between school events, travel plans, and everything else filling your schedule, life can start to feel more rushed than meaningful. But what if, in the middle of all that chaos, there’s another way?
In our sermon series Maycember, we’re exploring how God meets us right in the middle of our busy lives—not asking us to do more, but inviting us to slow down, breathe, and be with Him. Together, we’ll discover what it looks like to find real peace, create space for what matters most, and experience God’s presence even on the fullest days.
Because maybe the goal isn’t to escape the busy season…Maybe it’s to encounter God within it. Come as you are on Sundays in May at 9:00am and 10:45am—busy, tired, hopeful—and let’s learn to slow down together.
We stream our 9:00am worship service. You can join online by clicking the "Watch Live" button below on Sundays!
