What is FaithWorks?
FaithWorks is a week-long event at FCC where we practice the love of Jesus and our value as a church for being devoted to community.
Every year during the third week of June, hundreds of volunteers, young and old, from Faith Community Church roll up their sleeves to serve on various projects around the St. Croix Valley. Our goal is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in an effort to bless our community and show them the love of our Savior in a tangible way.
Volunteers from FCC donate their time and skill to complete home, yard, garden, and landscape projects for those in need of help in the Hudson and the surrounding communities.
It may be for an elderly person who is limited in strength or mobility, a single parent who is strapped for time or resources, a young couple unsure of the best way to complete a project, a person or family facing injury or illness, or sometimes people who could just use a helping hand around their home if their time or resources are limited.
The goal of FaithWorks is to love our neighbors and serve our community, seeking the good of our city together because of Jesus.
