FCC believes that one of the best ways that we can show the unity found in God’s love is by working in partnership with other organizations which minister to the community.
For almost 50 years, FCC has provided meeting space for various Girl Scout troops. Currently, we feel privileged to provide meet space for Troops 21678, 21673, 20689, 20636, 20703, 20682, 21685, 20667, and the 7 Bridges Service Unit. The Girls Scouts and the church combine to work to serve the community through fundraiser, gathering food for the food bank, and mission projects.

LEMOYNE MINISTERIUM
Composed of the churches of Lemoyne and Wormleysburg, the ministerium works to meet the needs of the community as well as provide spiritual activities such as special worship services, Lenten Lunches, and Vacation Bible School. The Ministerium is made up on Calvary United Methodist, Grace United Methodist Church, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Cornerstone Fellowship Assembly of God.
Due to increased demand, a new food bank for specifically the Lemoyne and Wormleysburg area was started in 2010 at the Cornerstone Assembly Fellowship. We support them with food collected on our Pantry Sunday each month. Named after the story where Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fish and multiplied them to feed thousands, we know that if we share there is no reason for people to be hungry.
New Hope Ministries is a faith-based non-profit who provides support and organized assistance for at risk or in crisis individuals and families. They offer crisis assistance with food and various other immediate needs. They also have programs for children and youth including after-school and summer programs. In Fall 2011, we became a supporting congregation. We support them through food as well as other ways.
Mission Central is the mission warehouse of the Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church. Along with 23 satellite operations called “HUBs”, they supply humanitarian goods and logistical services to hundreds of different ministry and social service agencies. We have sent teams of volunteers to help their mission.
