Serve IN OUR CITY through any of OUR PARTNERS BELOW

At FCC Napa, we believe Scripture clearly expresses the heart of God to turn to the poor, the sick, the immigrant, the prisoner, the widow, and the orphan. By partnering with other local nonprofit ministries in Napa and our surrounding counties, we become an agent of change and transformation. We want to effect change that relieves suffering, overcomes oppression, and fights injustice — all characterized by the love that transforms and shows we care about what God cares about.

Working with our ministry partners in Napa, and beyond our community, we assist with funding, volunteering in many capacities, mentoring, advising, praying for and with, and connecting these organizations with one another to build relationships and strengthen their efforts to serve in our city and beyond.

YOUNG LIFE

We believe in the power of presence. Kids’ lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.

This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God’s love for them, will impact future decisions … careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader reached out and entered their world. Learn how you can get involved and make a difference in the lives of youth at napa.younglife.org
