WHAT IS THE FCM'S
FAITH BASED UPON?
Q: What is FCM?
A: The Fellowship of Christian
Modelers, or FCM, is a non-profit organization of modelers
who enjoy modeling while still maintaining their
faith in Christ as their first priority.
Q: What is the basis for FCM's beliefs?
A: We believe that the
bible is the perfect word of God, that Jesus Christ is
the perfect sacrifice for our sins and the promise of eternal
life is for all who would believe.
Q: What does FCM do?
A: We have a national prayer
chain; we host worship services at contests; we send a
newsletter to encourage members; we maintain a web site
for modelers; and we advocate Christ whenever and wherever
we are able.
We provide members with T-shirts, bumper stickers and decals
to help them identify themselves with FCM and the cause
of Jesus Christ. We also host an annual contest at the
AMA National Flying site.

HOW DO I JOIN?
Q: How do I join?
A: It is simple. Just complete
our online form. We will be pleased to welcome you into
the club!
Q: What does it cost?
A: Nothing. FCM is a faith-based
ministry. That is, we operate on voluntary donations alone.
There are no yearly dues, and all donations are tax exempt.
So far, God has supplied our every need. When He stops
doing that, we fold our tents and leave, but not before!

WHEN DID THE FCM COME ABOUT?
Q: When did the FCM come about? to What
is the history of FCM?
A: Over twenty people attended
a small devotional service at the Sig contest in 1995.
There were four men at that service who became our original
board of directors. Since then, we have grown beyond c/l
stunt into the other c/l disciplines, r/c, and free-flight.
FCM has conducted devotional services at the Nats in Muncie,
IN since 1996; at the Indoor Nats in Johnson City, TN;
at the AMA Grand Event in Muncie, IN; at the VSC in Tuscan,
AZ; and at the Howe Combat contest in Yorktown, IN; the
