Local Partners

FCF provides financial support and hands-on help to three local partners. To register yourself or your group to help, go to Serving Central.

The Frederick Rescue Mission  
The Frederick Rescue Mission is a private, non-profit Christian ministry providing faith-based, residential, life recovery programs for men.  The goal of its program is to restore hope and facilitate a return to productive, community living. The Mission is also home to a food pantry and soup kitchen that serves breakfast and lunch 7/365.  In addition to financial support, individuals and groups from FCF can serve lunch at the soup kitchen, participate in fix-up projects, provide non perishable food items, hygiene kits and clothing or participate in the Fannie Mae Walk.

Allen P. Linton, Jr. Emergency Shelter / Exodus Project
The Alan P. Linton, Jr. Emergency Shelter provides a warm, clean place where the homeless of Frederick can find shelter during the cold months from November to March.  Each year, a number of shelter residents are given the opportunity to return to independence through being chosen for the Exodus Project which assists them in finding employment, transportation and housing.  Individuals and groups from FCF can man check in at the shelter, provide clothing, snacks, household items,  and plan and lead activities for Exodus Project clients.

Hope Alive 
Hope Alive, Inc., a nonprofit Christian ministry called to embrace homeless women and their children with the life-changing love of God. In partnership with the community, Hope Alive offers a transitional home and comprehensive support services to empower women and children with Christian values, dignity, and the skills they need to live self-sustaining lives filled with hope and a future.

Willow Creek Association International
WCA International grew from the requests of pastors from churches around the world for assistance with increasing their impact as a local church.  WCA answered the call by taking leadership development opportunities to countries all over the world through the Global Leaders Summit.

This year, FCF is excited to announce our role as a City Builder through WCA International.  City Builders are solely responsible for bringing opportunities for world-class leadership development to one city abroad by sponsoring the Global Leaders Summit in that city.

It is our hope that this investment in developing pastors and church leaders will impact one leader, one church, one community and one country for Christ.
