The single biggest obstacle to the church’s mission and vision of peace with justice is the fact of the segregation of the poor / the oppressed / the exploited / the neglected / the stranger from the comfortable / the secure / the satisfied. — Jack Jezreel

We believe how we treat the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the stranger, the sick, and the prisoner is how we treat Christ himself. “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40). God calls us to protect and [help] those who are poor and vulnerable, and our treatment of people who are “oppressed,” “strangers,” “outsiders,” or otherwise considered “marginal” is a test of our relationship to God, who made us all equal in divine dignity and love. - Richard Rohr


Mission: Inspire compassionate service to meet the physical and spiritual needs of our community through cooperative, healthy partnerships.

Vision: Build a stronger community in Forney through charitable acts of kindness.

Non-profit 501(c)(3) enabling healthy cooperation
For too long, organizations in Forney have acted independently in trying to meet the needs of this community. This has created a huge amount of redundancy in costs and administrative time and effort.

Some organizations have time or personnel, but limited financial capabilities. Others have the financial wherewithal, but lack time or personnel. Some have it all! But, if we work together, cooperate and participate together, it is a win-win for everyone…especially those who need our help.

FCM seeks to enable volunteers, donors and ministries to connect to each other, and to coordinate their efforts to build meaningful and impactful relationships with those who need our help, to the benefit of everyone involved.

The FCM financial records are available for review. Funding for FCM overhead is managed through donations from its Board of Directors. It is run by that board, with representation options available for each partnering organization.

Let's work together to meet the needs of our community… openly, honestly and effectively!

Major house renovation project underway!

We have just begun a major renovation project on a house in downtown Forney. We've leveled the foundation (10" low in one corner!). It will need a new roof, major plumbing and electrical work and lots of interior fixes. This is the home of an elderly lady who keeps the house beautifully, but fights the leaking roof and rotting floors, and leaking pipes…

The budget for this project is about $18,000, and the work is extensive. This is truly a cooperative project, as all the partners of FCM are pitching in with their respective talents and abilities.

Please join us if you want to help! You can Donate via the button on this page, or volunteer your time (just let us know when you're available!).

Help our Students for the next school year

300 backpacks were purchased by FCM for the FISD Resource Fair on August 1, 2020, at a cost of about $10,000. FISD received requests for over 1,500 backpacks!! Please consider a donation through the Donate button on this site to help us recoup this cost, and to buy more backpacks full of supplies, with items for the appropriate grades in school. A pack of supplies costs about $40 per student.

Donated (recycled) uniforms help a lot…so please donate your gently used, washed and good condition uniforms at the Presbyterian Church of Forney. Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, the supply of recycled uniforms is much more limited than in prior years.

A week's worth of new school uniform tops and bottoms can be purchased for $80. Please consider a donation of your funds through the Donate button on this site to make this happen!

Both a backpack of school supplies and a week's worth of uniforms can be purchased for $120 per student. Please consider adopting a student with your financial support through the Donate button on this site.
