At FCCI, we are dedicated to building a community of ministers and churches where every member is valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. Join us in making a difference today!
Our mission extends globally, providing impactful ministry to those in need, fostering meaningful connections through fellowship, and offering practical training to help ministers grow in their calling. In times of personal or ministry-related challenges, we stand alongside our members, offering care, guidance, and support to ensure they are never walking alone.
FCCI was founded by Dr. Carl Conley, who has devoted over 50 years to full-time ministry. His heart has always been to serve as a pastor to leaders and ministers worldwide, many of whom were pursuing their calling without the backing of a larger denomination or organization. Driven by a passion to strengthen the Body of Christ and unite ministries in their mission to spread the Gospel, Dr. Conley established FCCI. Today, under the leadership of Pastors Mark and Bo Stahl, this vision continues to be at the core of our mission.
We are passionate about equipping the Church to fully embrace its role in the ministry. Through practical training, resources, and mentorship, we empower leaders and churches to grow and impact their communities. Our mission is to provide the tools, support, and fellowship needed to help believers thrive, united in purpose, and fully equipped to carry out the work of the Gospel.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, authoritative and reliable for teaching, correction, and instruction in righteous living (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully and equally God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, and rose again on the third day. He ascended into heaven and will return to judge the living and the dead and that he is the only (John 1:14, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is by grace, through faith, that we are saved, not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10).
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the active presence of God in the world today, empowering believers for holy living, guiding them into all truth, and equipping them for service in the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:8, John 14:16-17, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11).
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship God, grow in grace, and share the Gospel with the world. The Church exists to make disciples, train leaders, and spread the love of Christ through service and fellowship (Ephesians 4:11-16, Matthew 28:18-20).
The Great Commission
We believe in the Great Commission, that it is every believer's responsibility to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8).
Ministry can be a lonely place for church leaders who have no one and nowhere to turn to when there is a problem or when they simply need a friend.
The Faith Community Churches International was formally organized in 2004 to help solve that problem. Dr. Carl Conley and a group of leaders decided to establish an organization that would serve the needs of leaders all over the world, and the story of that journey is told in this book, A Place Called Home: The FCCI Story.
Then in 2019, FCCI successfully transitioned leadership to Zimbabwean-born Dr. Reggies Wenyika. Reggies shares his journey to FCCI in these pages and explains why he believes the best for FCCI is yet to come. If you are a leader looking for a place to "call home" or a leader wanting to connect with something bigger than your ministry world, then A Place Called Home is where you will find everything you need to know about this unique and service-minded organization.
Few leaders or organizations prepare a leadership succession plan and that includes churches
In 2020, Apostle Priscilla Mgala and the Agape Life Church International leaders and members had to face the unexpected succession dilemma when her husband and the church's beloved founder, Bishop Augustine Mgala, passed into glory. That set off a chain of events that Bishop Augustine had started before he died, and in this book Apostle Priscilla tells the story of the transition and of the circumstances around his untimely departure.
Apostle Priscilla is joined by Drs. John Stanko and Reggies Wenyika to present an exhortation and some guidelines to leaders everywhere so they can prayerfully consider the answers to the question, "Who will lead if I'm not here?" They also include some biblical insight into the matter of leadership succession planning, of which God's Word has much to say.
