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.

CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES
As we step into the New Year together, we’re turning our attention to the Gospel of Matthew—a deep dive into the person of Jesus. Matthew doesn’t just tell us what Jesus taught; he shows us what it looks like when God steps into real human life and begins to reshape everything from the inside out.
Across January and February, join us on Sundays at 9:00am and 10:45am as we’ll follow Jesus from His early days to His most defining moments, watching how people encountered Him—and how their lives changed because of it. Each week, we’ll see that his invitation, “Follow Me,” can begin to transform our lives and define our identities.
We stream our 9:00am worship service. You can join online by clicking the "Watch Live" button below on Sundays!
