Next to Sunday morning, the Covenant-Member meeting is essential to our partnership with one another. It’s when the members gather as one body in a unique way (rather than spread across two services) to administer and participate in the life of our church family. Currently, we gather as a membership five times a year, the last Sunday, 5–7 pm, of January, April (twice), July, and October.

These are joyous, casual times. Our time is saturated with prayer as we have a reading of our membership covenant; admit and dismiss members; receive finance and ministry updates; review and approve the budget (April); vote on constitutional amendments; vote on elders and deacons; and address any special items that may arise, including church discipline. We ask all members to adjust their schedules as far as possible to ensure they make these four meetings.

This meeting will preview the proposed FCF budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, with the elders explaining their vision for this coming year, and will provide members to provide feedback and suggestions regarding the budget proposal.
