Ministry Teams
Visitation Team
Our Visitation Team seeks to ensure that no one is overlooked or lonely, maintaining contact with those who are ill, recovering medically, or shut in. We also visit local nursing homes on a regular basis to brighten the residents' spirits.
Worship Team
A team of musicians dedicated to leading cvfree in worship through music with a Biblical foundation, understanding that it puts us on the spiritual frontlines and serves to prepare us for God’s Word.
Prayer Team
The Prayer Team is passionate about being on the spiritual frontlines: praying for revival, for our leaders, for our church, and for our community.
Guest Services/Cafe
We are focused on having our guests feel comfortable from the moment they enter the parking lot! From greeting to giving a tour, offering a tasty treat and drink, to answering any questions, we are ready.
Property Care
We recognize our church is God's House. Like our own homes, regular maintenance and the occasional project are part of what keeps the space looking updated and functional.

cvfree has left the building
Each year, we take a Sunday morning to leave the church building and serve the elderly, ill, and single parents from our church family with basic landscaping and home repairs. Depending upon the need, we also may serve local organizations who would benefit from this support.
Operation Christmas Child
We are currently collecting items and cash donations for Operation Christmas Child. Gifts should be small enough to fit in a shoebox sized plastic tote. Suggestions can be found at samaritanspurse.org/occ. The cash donations will help cover the $10 shipping cost for each of the boxes. There will be a packing party on Sunday 11/17 after church to fill the boxes.
Angel Tree
Christmas Day Meals
We are partnering with Dr. Karen Banks-Lindner and her medical practice to help bless some seniors this Christmas season. Beginning 11/24, there will be a tree in the foyer with tags on it. Anyone may take a tag with the name of a senior on it and buy suggested gifts with a $20 limit. Unwrapped gifts will be collected mid-December to be distributed.
We are honored to serve those who work throughout the year to serve and protect us. We know they can't be home with their loved ones on Christmas, so we deliver meals to our local hospital and law enforcement .

We agree God's children are NOT for sale, and we are committed to sharing this message! Through education and proactive steps, we will ensure our local youth and those who are vulnerable know signs of human trafficking and ways to respond if a situation is unsafe. Through this FMC Ministry & Chenango County Board, we are committed to protecting those who may fall victim to this travesty.
It is so rewarding to help those who cannot otherwise help themselves. The Impact Project offers a meaningful opportunity to assist the elderly/disabled with home improvements like a new roof/handicapped accessible ramp, and we are pleased to send team members to assist.
