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

Faith isn't just something we believe—it's something we live.
The book of James is one of the most practical books in the Bible, inviting us to move beyond good intentions and into a life that reflects the character of Jesus. Through everyday challenges—how we handle hardship, the words we speak, the people we serve, the choices we make, and the wisdom we pursue—James reminds us that authentic faith always shows up in real life.
Over five weeks, we'll discover how a relationship with Jesus transforms not just what we think, but how we love, lead, work, speak, and care for others.
Join us Sundays at 9:00am and 10:45am as we explore what it means to live a faith that is genuine, grounded, and unmistakably visible.
We stream our 9:00am worship service. You can join online by clicking the button below on Sundays!
