Local Service

In response to Jesus’ call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and give a drink to the thirsty, congregants are active in a wide range of local organizations and service opportunities.

FMC Food Pantry: Several times each month, a team of congregants provides a grocery delivery service to households referred by Empty Tomb.  A list of items needed is available and donations from this list are accepted by FMC year-round.
