Kay Campbell
Choir Director

Cindy Howell
Music Director 

Cindy Howell, a life-time member of this congregation, has been a pianist since childhood and is passionate about praising the Lord with beautiful music. When FPC found themselves without an organist, Cindy took it upon herself to learn to play our historic pipe organ and has been the organist since 1998. She and Choir Director Kay Campbell work together to plan music that enriches our worship.

Cade Hopkins
Youth Director 

Our Youth Director is Cade Hopkins, an alumnus of our FPC youth group.  Cade grew up in Fayetteville and attended both Lincoln County High School and Fayetteville High School.  Cade continued his education at Motlow State, where he graduated magna cum laude with a pre-med major.  He has received a full academic scholarship from UT Southern to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing and has hopes of attending medical school in the future.

Cade was nurtured in both his faith and personal development here at First Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville.  In turn, he hopes to be able to share this type of Christian love with the youth group today.
