The Young Couples Ministry is under the umbrella of the Youth department and is composed of young married couples with or without children. Their focus of study revolves around God's principles for maintaining strong and good parenting. This ministry is vibrant and dynamic, with activities geared towards kindling husband and wife relationship and having family fun together. The Young Couples(YC) hosts the annual Valentine's Day celebration for FCF.
If you are interested to join, YC hold their meetings on Friday evenings starting from 7:30 at the Growth Centre in FCF, 111 Eskdale St., Minchinbury.
MissionsFCF sends teams of youth and adults to do medical and evangelistic mission in various areas in the Philippines. Many of those who go to missions grow in terms of awareness of the world around them, in showing mercy and compassion, patience and perseverance, in ministry skills and sharing the love of God to people.
FCF also supports churches in PNG and the Philippines.
Community Service
FCF serves the community doing quarterly or as necessary, clean-up, repairs and maintenance of a local public school or other specified places. Other acts of kindness performed include neighbourhood lawn mowing, help for new Filipino migrants, and other needs of individuals or organisations in the community.
Hospital
FCF participates in Mt Druitt Hospital Sunday ministry by sending leaders and members to lead a service and preach the word. Also, ministry is extended to Nursing homes around the area at Christmas time where the choir sings and distribute gifts.
CharityFCF responds quickly to appeals of help or aid for countries like the Philippines devastated by calamities. Aids – monetary and in kind are collected to be sent abroad.
CompassionMany families in the church are sponsors of Compassion children in the Philippines. The support is channelled through a Foursquare Church in Sta. Mesa, Manila which is able to reach out to parents of children they care for as part of the Compassion program.
The Prayer Ministry of the church is active, alive and is conducted weekly:
- Intercessory meeting - Tuesdays @ 7:30 pm,
- Prayer rally (with teachings on aspects of praying) - Wednesdays @ 7:30pm
- Prayer circles in the middle of our Sunday services where 3 to 4 people hold hands in a circle to pray for each others' needs and minister one to another. Takes around 15 minutes.
- Prayers are practiced during Home care/Bible study meetings held in homes in different areas in Sydney
The heartbeat of YD (Youth with a destiny) is to REACH the young generation by REVEALING the love of God, help RENEW their lives, REALISE their purpose, and RELEASE them in their God-given destiny.
Meetings of the youth are held in the church compound. The youth department consists of the following groups:
- YD RELIVE Junior high - 7:00 pm Friday
- YD ENGAGE Senior High - 7:00 pm Friday
- YD LIFE Young Adults – 7:30 pm Tuesday
- YC Young Couples (married couples) - 7:30 pm Friday
Based on Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
A Home Care meeting is a gathering of believers in a home setting,
living out the pattern established in the early New Testament church
where 'they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers
(Acts 2:42).
So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking
bread from house to house...
(Acts 2:46).We believe that the Sunday worship service (when the whole congregation gathers in celebration of the love of Christ) has to be augmented by seasons of discipleship through the nourishing life in a small group that meets regularly. A home care group consisting of between six and twelve adults meets in a home setting for Bible Study, discussion of past Sunday's sermons, fellowship and prayers. This is where vital church life is forged and close friendships are nurtured.
There are more than twenty FCF Homecare groups, meeting on Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoons led by trained men and women who undergo regular training sessions with the Senior Pastor. The Homecare meetings are held in different suburbs in Western and Southern Sydney.
If you wish to join any one of the homecare groups, please
contact us and we will direct you to the one that is near you.
Welcome to Children's Church (Sunday School).
Children
of all ages worship together with their parents; however there's a
room inside the sanctuary where uneasy children under two could be
nursed. At an appropriate juncture of the service, children 3 to 12
years old move to an adjacent facility for their own separate activities
which include Bible stories, drawing, picture coloring, and many more.
They are supervised and taught by volunteers trained in children ministry.
At the end of the church service, the children rejoin their parents.
MEN's FellowshipMen's fellowship involves quarterly meetings, mostly on Saturday morning for breakfast and fellowship. Its mission is to engender a greater awareness of the privilege and responsibility of men as spiritual leaders at home, in the church, and in the community at large.
WOMEN's fellowshipWomen meet quarterly to develop greater appreciation of their role as God- ordained minister of life, and to cultivate stronger relationships through planned activities of mutual interest and edification.
SENIORS' fellowshipSenior adults (normally more than 55 years old) gather in church weekly on Saturday afternoons from two to four-thirty. They worship the Lord, exchange praiseful personal and family stories, study biblical lessons, and share refreshments before the close of meeting. The seniors are exceptionally faithful in attendance, and they cherish their times together. Occasionally, their ministry leader would organize for them to go on a picnic, an excursion to visit a place of mutual interest, or to call on another senior who has been absent due to extended illness.
