Transforming Thousands
of Lives For Jesus
Faith Community Church (FCC) has been used by God for 40 years to transform thousands of lives through the gospel of Jesus. We represent hundreds of families that span the St. Croix Valley and our Twin Cities neighbors. In this season, we are excited to invite each one of us to join together in expanding our capacity to REACH and disciple others through the message and ministry of following Jesus.

Building Construction
Below are images documenting building construction since it began in spring 2025. New photos will be added as the project continues!
REACH Sermon Series
The gospel is not just a set of ideas of principles. The gospel is the heart of God for the world and the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. Few people have experienced this reality as deeply as the apostle Paul. In this series, we explore the impact of the gospel in and through the apostle Paul as an example and inspiration for us to follow.
Next Steps.
You can join the REACH journey at any time! We invite you to pray and consider how the Lord may be calling you to sacrificially give to God’s call. We are so thankful for the faithful, generous, and sacrificial giving of the Faith Community Church family!

Expanding Capacity for Gospel Impact
Faqs
When will REACH pledges/commitment begin and end?
In general, REACH pledges are intended to be 36 month commitments that can be paid weekly, monthly, or annually over three years. There is also an option to give a one time gift. We will be collecting pledges from the church as a whole during services on November 17, 2024, but they can be turned in at any time if you are not able to attend that Sunday.
How do I give toward my commitment?
You can give online at
fcchudson.com/give and designate your donation by clicking on Make a Gift and selecting REACH from the dropdown. We also gladly accept gifts in the form of a check. Simply write the word “REACH” in the memo.
How is this different from my tithe?
Tithing is simply returning the ten percent that belongs to God. Generosity begins in offerings. Tithes are funds set aside for the daily operations of the church. It is important to remember that life-transforming ministry continues to take place through the ongoing work of FCC during this campaign. Please continue to bring your tithe in addition to the special offerings God leads you to give.
I am new to FCC. Is there a way I can participate in REACH?
Absolutely! We are asking all who are a part of FCC to participate by sacrificial giving. Simply fill out a REACH commitment card, and turn it in, or you can email us a picture of your card to:
faithcommunity@fcchudson.com.
What is the financial goal?
Our goal is to raise $3.5 million towards REACH by December 31, 2027. Doing this will allow us to buy the building and complete Phase 3 of remodeling the building.
How can I creatively give towards REACH?
Stocks, bonds, IRA’s, properties, assets, vehicles, and financial gifts can be donated to the REACH campaign.
What if I have more questions about REACH?
We’d love to answer your questions! Contact us at: faithcommunity@fcchudson.com or (715) 386-4070.
Ways to Invest
Lifestyle Giving
Lifestyle giving is giving by changing your lifestyle and priorities to free up resources
Sacrificial Giving
Sacrificial giving is increasing your gift by giving up something that you “love” but that is non-essential, realizing that in doing so, you are showing love for God’s great, redemptive work. A sacrifice might be as simple as giving up a weekly lunch or perhaps you and your family would purposely give up a vacation or hobby for a season to give sacrificially.
Deferred Gifts
Deferred gifts are gifts that are received some time in the future by the church. During that time the donor retains interest in the assets. Examples: bequests, estate notes, charitable reminder trusts, charitable gift annuities, IRA beneficiary, life insurance.
Appreciated Asset Giving
Appreciated Asset giving is giving by transferring appreciated assets such as stocks, bond, art work, donor-advised funds, or real estate to get the extra tax benefits of eliminating capital gains taxes. The advantage of giving an “appreciated asset” rather than just selling it and giving the money to the church is that if you sell it, first you may owe tax on gain in value of your asset.
Redirected Expenditures
Redirected expenditures occur when funds can be directed toward the kingdom work as other financial obligations are fulfilled during the campaign. These might include tuition payments, car loans, etc.
Raises or Bonuses
Raises or Bonuses dedicating a forthcoming raise or bonus as a way to fulfill one’s commitment.
