To facilitate a partnership of faith communities and local service agencies to serve individuals and families of Frederick County.
We build partnerships within the faith community and local service agencies; we equip the partnership through education, collaboration, and sharing of resources; we provide opportunities for the faith community to serve; and we connect those in need with resources
In 2014, the Frederick County Department of Social Services (FCDSS) embarked on a new approach to expand service to families and children by coordinating efforts of the Faith Community Partnership of Frederick County. The first FCP meeting was attended by 8 people and attendance slowly grew with each Quarterly Breakfast Meeting. During these meetings, faith community members and agency representatives are able to network, share resources, and build connections to partner together.
