Church Commitment
Churches that make an FCHM co-op a ministry of their church commit to an average of eighteen mornings and two evenings per year for use of the facility.
We encourage co-op leaders to plan their class days out a year at a time, and to work with the church staff for extra days such as presentation night or open house.
Co-ops typically start with chapel at 8:30 am and are usually done, and the building cleaned, by 1:00 p.m.
Â
Financial Commitment
FCHM's chapter fee is only $250/year. FCHM appreciates greatly churches that partner with us to cover our scholarship fund and other operating costs. FCHM is an internationally recognized non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
