Our Family Tree

For some time now, FMCSC has desired to publish this useful tool on the web. When we first presented this tool to the Board of Administration, it was immediately recognized as a valuable, straightforward, well-presented tool.

It is our hope that this is shared with your church boards, leadership teams, membership classes and church bodies.


"But, why a history?"

In this day and age, we are discovering that many people simply do not know the history of the church. They may not know a lot about Christianity; they may not know who John Wesley is; they may not know what a "Free Methodist" is; a person may not know what our core values are.

Many times we find the above issues to be true, despite the intelligence of an individual, the cultural background of an individual or even: the position one holds within the church.

In essence:
to know our history = to know ourselves.


"Is this available in another language?"

Yes. We have this formatted in Spanish and have provided a link (below) to a streaming version of the Spanish DVD ("Nuestro Arbol Genealógico").


"What's in store for the future, with respect to the 'Community DVDs'?"

FMCSC has found this DVD series to be a useful means for denominational education and for enthusiastically expressing the mission and vision of the Free Methodist Church in Southern California. We are currently looking at new projects in the DVD series and will update the site with information and streaming videos as these projects come to fruition.

We have provided the links, below, for your use.
