About Faith Community Church Men's Meetup. Faith Community Church Men's Meetup (FCCMM) is an FCC meetup group developed to publicize the church's men's events and to spread the Word of God. Matthew 28:19-20. FCCMM was started on Saturday, May 13, 2023. FCC is located at 1306 Riedel Road, Gambrills, Maryland 21054. The church website is here: http://www.faithcommunity.net/
FCCMM posts events for three (3) FCC Men's Groups:
1. Men's Fraternity. Men's Fraternity meets Monday evenings at 7pm at FCC. In Men's Fraternity we read Christian studies to help us learn about our roles and responsibilities as men as provided in scripture. We have a large group discussion (sometimes with a video) at 7pm. We discuss the lesson and the supporting scriptures in the large group - we sometimes sing hymns. Later we break up into small groups to discuss specific application of the lesson in our lives - we also join together in prayer requests. We conclude by 9pm. Men's Fraternity typically takes a break during the summer and a short break in between books. The organizer is Chuck Phillips.
2. Men's Prayer & Bible Study. Men's Prayer & Bible Study meets Saturday mornings at 7:30am at FCC. We join in prayer at 7:30 and take prayer requests. Then we read and discuss the day's scripture selection. Light snacks and coffee are provided. We conclude by 9am. The organizer is Bob Crane.
3. Men's Hiking & Outdoors Club. Men's Hiking & Outdoors Club holds a hiking, outdoors or social event roughly bimonthly. Our first event will be in October 2023 (a hike at Patapsco Valley State Park near Ellicott City, Maryland). This group is for men and boys to get outside, enjoy God's beautiful creation, and spend time in followship with one another: discussing scripture, singing hymns, and inviting others to learn about the Lord. (Any boy under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their father or other male family member who is 18 or older to participate). We hike trails in the area and enjoy outdoor and social activities. The organizer is Charles Barksdale.

As noted on the "About" page for FCC - available here http://www.faithcommunity.net/our-vision - the church's vision is as follows.
At Faith Community church we
FOLLOW Christ in FAITH,SHARE the gospel of HOPE, and UNITE in LOVE for God and one another
OUR METHODOLOGY IS EXPRESSED THIS WAY;
As a community of believers we:
Worship God and submit to Him in prayer (Matt 22:37, John 4:23-24)
Walk in the Word through discipleship (Ps 1:1-2, 1 John 1:7)
Work in the Body of Christ for its edification (Eph 2:10)
Witness to others about the hope of the gospel (Acts 1:8, Rev 12:11)
Welcome one another into our homes and hearts (1 Pet 4:8-9, Acts 2:42)
So at Faith Community Church we want to make sure that we have activities, meetings, events, etc., that provide time for:
(1) worshipping God,
(2) applying the Bible in our study of it,
(3) working together as we use our gifts,
(4) reaching out to those outside the church, and
(5) practicing hospitality as Christians.
