"Empowering Disciples, Transforming Lives, Sharing the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth."
At First Coast Outreach Ministries (FCOM), our faith is grounded in the unshakable truths of Scripture that form the bedrock of our mission, vision, and ministry. These core beliefs are more than doctrinal statements—they are the driving force behind everything we do. They reflect the eternal foundation upon which we stand and are the framework for how we engage with the world around us, share the Gospel, and live out our faith.
At FCOM, we uphold the Bible as the ultimate authority in all matters of life and ministry. It is through the Scriptures that we find direction for our decisions, strength in our trials, and hope for the future. The Bible is the cornerstone of our teaching, preaching, and outreach. We believe that through the Scriptures, God speaks directly to us, revealing His love, His justice, and His mercy. We are committed to studying, living, and teaching the Bible in its fullness, knowing that it is God’s Word to us—not merely words on a page but a guide that speaks into every area of life.
We also believe that the Bible’s message is one of profound transformation. It has the power to penetrate hearts, convict us of sin, and lead us into the abundant life that Jesus promises. As we engage with God’s Word, we experience the deep work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, shaping us into the image of Christ and empowering us to live out His mission in the world.
We understand that the Great Commission involves much more than evangelizing. It is a call to encompassing discipleship, where we teach people to follow Jesus, not just through words, but through lives that reflect His love, justice, mercy, and holiness. Making disciples means helping individuals grow in their faith, equipping them to live out the values of God’s Kingdom, and empowering them to make disciples themselves. This is a process that takes time and commitment, as we walk alongside believers in their journey of spiritual growth, providing guidance, encouragement, and accountability.
At FCOM, we embrace the global and local dimensions of the Great Commission. We are called to go to the nations and to the neighborhoods—to both near and far. Our outreach spans from local schools, shelters, and prisons to international mission trips and partnerships with global ministries. Whether ministering in a local community or in a remote part of the world, we are committed to sharing the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We recognize that the Gospel knows no boundaries—geographical, cultural, or social—and we are passionate about reaching people in every corner of the earth, making disciples of every tribe, tongue, and nation.
The Great Commission also involves comprehensive ministry, meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those we encounter. We believe that as we share the Gospel, we must also be a visible demonstration of God’s love in action. This means feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and caring for the marginalized. The message of the Gospel is not just a set of words—it is lived out through sacrificial love and service to others.
At FCOM, we understand that the Great Commission is not only a task to be completed but a lifestyle to be embraced. It’s about living out our faith in a way that reflects the character of Christ, showing His love to those around us, and actively sharing the hope we have in Him with the world. As we live as commissioned people, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit, who equips us for every good work and strengthens us to be faithful in fulfilling the mission God has given us.
"Empowering Transformation Through Prayer, Faith, and Action."
At First Coast Outreach Ministries (FCOM), we understand that prayer is more than just a spiritual practice—it is the heartbeat of our ministry. We believe in the transformative power of prayer as a vital part of our mission to make disciples of all nations, and we invite you to join us in lifting up the work of the Gospel through faithful intercession.
Prayer is the foundation upon which we build everything. It shapes our vision, strengthens our resolve, and invites God’s presence and blessing into every aspect of our outreach. We recognize that while we can share the Word of God and offer our resources, it is only through the power of prayer that true transformation can occur in people’s hearts and lives. Prayer changes circumstances, softens hearts, opens doors, and creates opportunities for the Gospel to penetrate where words alone cannot reach.
We call upon our Co-Laborers in Christ —our dedicated partners in prayer—to stand with us in faithful intercession for those we serve. Together, we pray for the individuals and communities we are reaching, asking God to move powerfully in their lives. Whether it’s the student searching for purpose, the family in crisis, the prisoner longing for redemption, or the individual in a shelter seeking hope, we believe that God is at work through the prayers of His people.
In our prayer gatherings, we lift up those we minister to, asking God to:
Prayer is not just a one-time event—it is a continuous, ongoing conversation with God, and it plays an essential role in the success of our outreach efforts. Through prayer, we seek God’s guidance, wisdom, and strength for every decision, every outreach event, and every relationship we build. Prayer is our lifeline, helping us stay connected to His will and empowering us to persevere in the face of challenges.
As we go into communities—whether it’s schools, shelters, correctional institutions, neighborhoods, or beyond—we rely on the power of prayer to break down barriers. We pray that God will prepare the soil of the hearts we encounter, that they might be ready to receive His Word. We ask for divine opportunities to speak life and hope into people’s lives and that the Gospel will take root and grow in hearts everywhere we go.
Your prayers are an irreplaceable part of this ministry. They fuel our work and provide the spiritual covering that makes all things possible. We believe that as you join us in prayer, you become an active participant in the mission—your prayers are not just heard, but they have a powerful, lasting impact. Your faithful intercession for those we minister to is a contribution to the harvest of souls that we seek to bring into the Kingdom of God.
We are deeply grateful for the partnership of our prayer warriors, who lift us up in both times of celebration and times of challenge. Together, as we pray, we are building a foundation that will support the work of the Gospel for years to come. We trust that God will continue to guide and empower us as we faithfully walk in His calling, bringing hope to those who need it most.
We invite you to join us in seeking God’s continued guidance, provision, and blessing for every individual and community we serve. Let us trust that God is already at work, doing immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine, and that He will use our prayers to advance His Kingdom in powerful and unexpected ways.
