Celebrating 25 years of Faith, Family and Friends at FCC Allen
For the past 25 years, being part of this church has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. When I first walked through the doors, I was searching for a place where faith could grow and relationships could flourish. What I found was a spiritual home—a community that truly lives out the love of Christ.
This church has taught me that faith is not just something we practice on Sundays; it’s a daily walk with God. Through every season—times of joy and times of challenge—my faith has been strengthened by the Word, by prayer, and by the encouragement of this congregation.
Family has always been at the heart of our ministry. Here, I’ve seen families restored, marriages strengthened, and children raised to know and love the Lord. Departed family members have been celebrated and lovingly remembered. My own family has been blessed beyond measure by the support and guidance we’ve received.
And then there are the friendships—lifelong bonds formed in small groups, service projects, and countless moments of fellowship. These friends have become like brothers and sisters to me, walking alongside me in faith and life.
After 25 years, I can say with confidence that this church is more than a building; it’s a living testimony of God’s grace. I am grateful for every sermon, every prayer, and every person who has helped me grow closer to Christ. My prayer is that others will find the same hope, love, and community that I have found here.
To God be the Glory!
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” — Acts 2:42
