Through our Community Impact Ministries, we partner with organizations and groups to make a difference within our region. We collect and deliver food to share with the homeless, the elderly, and families in need. We participate in construction projects to build and repair homes. We provide mentoring and assistance for children in our local schools. We bring together healthcare professionals and organizations to improve community health. We serve in ministries that create Christian communities in prisons. We serve together in many other significant ways to share the love of God and make a positive impact in our neighborhoods.
Beautiful Feet
We partner with Fort Worth’s Beautiful Feet Church to minister to the local homeless population.
Beautiful Feet Church ministry is in need of:
- Prepared Meals (i.e. Casseroles) for theme-of-the-week*
- PB&J or Meat and Cheese Sandwiches (no condiments)
- Donations of Chips, Cookies, Fruit, Packaged Condiments, and/or Water (no apples please, they are too hard for people with teeth and gum issues)
- If you enjoy baking, there is always a need for cookies, brownies, bars, and muffins.
- Coffee grounds and powdered cream and sugar
- Styrofoam To-go containers
- Packaged silverware and napkin
- Collection times are every Monday from 5-6 pm and Tuesday from 8:30-11 am.
*Each week we will have an assigned item to cook, view the Beautiful Feet Meal Schedule 2021. Prepared meals should be sent in a disposable container, preferably an aluminum foil pan so that it can be refrigerated/frozen easily, then reheated in the oven. It is not necessary for food to be sent hot. Drop off these donations by the west side of Building D’s metal garage doors. For more details, email serving@fmcm.org.

Meals On Wheels
Our church is the drop-off point for the Mansfield area Meals on Wheels program of Tarrant County. Delivering meals at the front door for our homebound neighbors is one of our ongoing volunteer opportunities with Meals On Wheels. Volunteers come from all walks of life: individuals, couples, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and dads, as well as groups. Anyone who can spare 1 ½ hours just one day per week Monday through Friday can change someone’s life for the better. If you would like to learn more about volunteering weekly or as an occasional sub, contact serving@fmcm.org.
Habitat for Humanity
Our church partners with Trinity Habitat for Humanity to build two houses each year— one in the spring and one in the fall. Be a part of the next Habitat for Humanity build and make the dream of homeownership come true for a family in need. Volunteers of all skill levels, age 16 and up, are welcome; tools will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. (Volunteers ages 16-17 must have a release signed by their parents/guardians.) Spots are limited. Lunch will be provided. Contact serving@fmcm.org for more information.
