Membership

You belong here.

FCM is a community built for those who have always known their Call and sometimes struggled to find a home for it.

FCM is a great place to be — to allow my theology to work.

What membership means

Ministry can be lonely. FCM changes that.

  • Fellowship & connection

    Local, regional and national events with colleagues who understand expansive ministry.

  • Commissioning (ordination)

    A meaningful, affirming and rigorous path to formal recognition of your Call.

  • Weekly prayer gatherings

    Shared prayer, meditation and reflection, in person and online.

  • Diaspora magazine

    Our quarterly magazine of theology, member stories and resources.

  • Ministerial colleagues

    Mutual support, accountability and encouragement along the way.

  • Faith community network

    A growing network of communities to worship, serve and belong.

Gather. Worship. Grow.

The National Assembly.

Each year, FCM members come together for the National Assembly, our flagship gathering for worship, fellowship, professional development and community.

Alternating between in-person and virtual formats, it is a highlight of the FCM year and a powerful reminder that you are not alone in your Call.

Your Call deserves recognition

Commissioning, at your pace.

Commissioning through FCM honors your unique Call to ministry. It is not a one-size-fits-all path: the process meets you where you are, with the guidance of your Regional Vice President and a ministerial colleague.

Start your journey

You’ve felt the Call. FCM is ready to walk alongside you.

Membership is open to all, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, theological background or faith tradition. If you are ready to pursue your Call in community with others who are doing the same, we would love to welcome you.
