Faith in Action

<<Faith Builders home

The Fuller Center is a partnering ministry with Faith in Action, a four-week campaign that challenges church congregations to volunteer on Sundays with the bold slogan, "Don’t go to church, be the church."

 The National Faith in Action campaign consists of

• 29 daily devotionals
• 4 weeks of small groups
• 4 sermons/services
• 1 cancelled worship service, replaced by a day of community service—all wrapped up with an evening celebration.

This year, the national day of service will take place on Sunday, October 13. Participating congregations can spend their day of action volunteering with the Fuller Center to repair a local family’s home.  At the Fuller Center we extend the event to the entire weekend so we can accomodate more churches and take on more projects.
