Things We Want You to Know about the FCC

We are a different kind of church where the past is the past and the future has infinite possibilities!

     – Our God is Love,
    – Kindness is our worship,
    – Compassion is our prayer,
    – The sacred value of all people is our creed, and
    – Healing the hurt caused by hatred is our mission.

Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, it’s our desire to help you along the way. We admit we don’t have all the answers, but we invite you to join us.

Here are some things you should know about the FCC

1. We love God.

We hope that by being around us, you will see how deeply you are loved by Christ and you will fall in love with Him too.

2. We value courageous vulnerability.

We are messy. Life is messy, so there’s really no getting around it. You’re not going to find any perfect people here. But real? Oh yeah… we can do real. We don’t hide our failures. Instead, we share life together by creating transparent, life-giving relationships.

3. Our desire is to provide a safe environment.

We want to be a safe place where your messiness can be shared and known. At the FCC, you will be loved more – not less – for opening up.

4. We place loving Jesus over taking sides.

We respect the fact that there are people who genuinely love Jesus on both sides of issues. Labels unnecessarily divide people and distract us from the gospel, and we do our best to stay away from them.

5. We live in the reality of our new identity in Christ.

We do not define ourselves as “saved sinners,” but as fully redeemed. We are learning to live out the reality of who God says we are – deeply loved, totally forgiven and free from shame.

6. We feel called to love the world.

One of our desires as a church is to extend the heart and the hands of Christ to those in need, whether on our doorstep or on the other side of the world. We want everyone to know the infinite depths of God’s love.

We know that there are a lot of empty promises within Christianity – and these often lead to disappointment and disillusionment… with God. Or with Christians. Or with the church.

Our hope is that at the FCC we can offer you a safe place to be you. As you are. We want to be a place where there’s no need to pretend you have it all together. A place where you can be open about your doubts and struggles, heal from your wounds and discover the astounding reality of how Christ views you.

At the FCC, we believe in a God who loves us as we are and not as we should be. We are a "shame free" church exploring God's lavish grace. If you need hope, healing, or freedom, this is the place for you.

We live in a world that loves to put labels on people. At the FCC we want to help you experience God's love in a tangible way. To help you realize the label and truth He wants you to live under is simply, "Loved". 

We all have stuff to work through in our lives. We all struggle with hurts, habits, and hang-ups that keep us from being what God has created us to be. But that's why we all need a Savior. Christ loves us as we are and loves us enough to not keep us there. 

If you are looking for hope, healing, or freedom in your life, you've come to the right place. You've come to a safe place.
