COMMITTED

FCC is committed to justice and peace and to the welfare of all residents of our community and the world. We financially support Church World Service and denominational mission projects, Heifer Project International, Doctors Without Borders, Tri-City Homeless Coalition and other local agencies.

Every fourth Saturday, FCC and Fellowship in Christ Church of the Brethren serve dinner at Sunrise Village. See the Calendar of Events for information.

FCC is a member congregation of Congregations Organizing for Renewal, a 13-congregation faith-based community organizing project which is connected to Pacific Institute for Community Organizations. In 1998, we were able to organize an after-school program for students at Centerville Junior High School in Fremont. We were active in convincing the Alameda County Board of Supervisors recently to commit 100% of the Tobacco Settlement funds to health care issues in Alameda County. In 2002 we helped investigate and organize for improved library hours at the Fremont Library, especially at the branch libraries in Centerville, Irvington, and Niles. Our current focus is on affordable housing in Fremont and on improving Para Transit for Seniors. Our Local Organizing Committee meets on 2^nd Mondays at 7:30 PM.

We are active in the interfaith community of the Tri-Cities area. We believe that there are many ways to worship God, and we support our brothers and sisters in their choice of religious expression.
