Local Missions

Tri-City Homeless Coalition: Meets the needs of the homeless population in the Tri-City area through transitional shelter for families and singles, transitional housing for families, mobile outreach to the homeless on the streets, and help in finding and keeping jobs. Each fall, First Church provides back-to-school backpacks for children living at the transitional shelter.
Tri-City Volunteers: A multi-emergency center providing food, clothing, furniture and household items to people in need. Each Sunday during the services, we collect food items to be donated to their Food Bank. We also occasionally donate clothing. Some items, such as canned fruit cups, go into box lunches prepared for the homeless by a local church.


Windsor Country Drive Care Center: A nursing home in Fremont for the elderly and persons recovering from injuries. We offer a very popular bingo game to the residents on Wednesday evenings. These bingo games provide much needed diversion and entertainment as well as some coordination exercise for the elderly and chronically ill residents.

For 9 years First Church provided a Worship Service for all residents the first Sunday of each month. We're currently taking a break from that ministry.
South County Creative Living Center: The CLC is a "clubhouse", providing an alternative to costly, long-term institutional care for adults who have difficulty living independently. It fosters a sense of home, belonging and mutual support. Day classes are taught by teachers from Fremont Adult School. The classes taught are self-esteem, money management, job preparation classes, independent living skills, nutrition and exercise. The church provides support for their bowling program.
