At FMC, Jesus is the center of our faith, Community is the center of our life, and Reconciliation is the center of our work.

Our starting point is the example of Jesus who shows us the will and character of God most clearly. Following his teachings, we oppose all forms of hate, divisiveness, and harm, and instead act with faith, hope, and love to repair the world. We commit to nonviolent actions that lead to the peace, justice, and wholeness God desires for all.
