Serve @ Community

Matt.5:16 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

When believers reach-out and serve others, God becomes real to all who are involved.  At Fairfield Christian we want to be busy about the work of God especially in the communities of Fairfield County.   We want to serve with effective ministries, whether extensions of FCC or ministries already established in the community, and to cooperate in doing good works so that God may be seen and felt by those that may find themselves burdened by difficult situations.  Members of our church family are actively involved in these ministries.

Mercy Ministries and Benevolence will continue the fifth Sunday food drive to stock the pantry, and facilitate other timely needs drives throughout the year to help our neighbors through difficult times. You’ll have opportunity to participate in the many aspects of these drives.  If you have interests in this type of ministry contact Stacie Blankenship.

The following are ministries that serve in the community and the contact person who can help direct your involvement.
