It Works!

“FWC has made community service a central component to all of our outreach endeavors because we believe that this model best represents the example given to us by Christ. If we are going to be true to Scriptures, we cannot divorce ourselves from community service.”

Dennis Bachman

Serving from the Beginning

“We have included community service from the beginning or our church plant.   At The Crossing we believe community service is a direct result of a life changed by Christ.   We want every person in our reach to discover, sharpen and implement their God-given gifts and talents for the purpose of making an impact on each other and ultimately our community.”
