We want to hear from you!

As our staff and leadership board seek the Lord’s guidance for our next steps, we’ve partnered with an organization that specializes in helping churches live out their mission, vision, and values. We will take a few minutes at the end of our services this Sunday to fill out a survey they’ve provided.

You’ll be able to complete the survey on your phone, and we’ll have hard copies available. We will also send the survey out via email on Monday.

We hope you’ll join with us as we seek the Lord’s heart for FAC. We are excited about our future!
