Dedicated Services for Lasting Change

Developing Greatness

The Developing Greatness program provides services to our youth so that we can keep them off the street and in a positive environment with support systems in place for them to be successful. Our goal is for youth between the ages of 12-24 to have a safe space to go outside of home and school. Our desire is to pour the fundamental ethical principles into our young people so that they can thrive in our culture and the world that we live in. Your donation will allow us to continue to expose our young people to new cities, states, colleges, and career opportunities by way of travel. We will also provide them with workforce development opportunities, life skills such as how to make a meal, wash clothes, cleaning and maintaining a house.

Community Meals

Started over 40 years ago with dinner provided free of charge on Christmas, the program has expanded to include additional holidays and various other programs. A donation to this program will go directly to feeding the community, all free of charge.

FCCA host community dinners on Monday and Wednesday evenings as well as Breakfast every 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Lunch every 1st and 3rd Sundays. These meals unite our community and allows us to live out our mission bringing the community together and motivatimg us to be our best and authentic selves, in addition to promoting social and learning opportunities for each other. For many this may be the only hot meal they will receive during the week.

Love Your Neighbor

Love Your Neighbor works to increase communication and to encourage better collaboration amongst organizations and our community overall. We get out into the community and have difficult conversations to bring unity, challenge people to think outside the box, work to address differences and to celebrate our similarities. Our 6-week course has made a tremendous impact on our community. Additionally, many of our community partners and leaders have developed great relationships through this program.

‍Recreation/Multipurpose Space

Over the last several years we invested over $300,000.00 into filling our abandoned pool which was built in the 1970’s. The upkeep of maintaining a pool of this magnitude was finically unobtainable for our organization. Not wanting this space to go to waste, our desire was to create lasting memories by using the area for basketball, pickleball, weddings, community events, conferences, and more.
‍
Our goal is to provide a safe space for all individuals of our community and county. We desire that the community will greatly benefit from the space physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. This space serves as a multi-purpose area for youth all the way into senior citizenship. We have hosted craft shows, basketball tournaments, parties, community events and gatherings, and so much more.
