Family Christian Center (FCC) Munster, formerly known as Evangelistic Temple, has been a cornerstone of faith in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland region for over half a century. Under the inspirational guidance of Senior Pastors Steve and Melodye Munsey, Family Christian Center Munster continues to exert a significant influence both locally and nationally. FCC is passionately devoted to its mission of reaching those who are lost, strengthening the Church, and expanding God’s Kingdom.
Family Christian Center Munster has cultivated a nationwide reputation for its pioneering integration of visual and dramatic arts into its services. By blending the enduring principles established by its founders, Bishop Frank and Ruth Munsey, with forward-thinking leadership, FCC has emerged as one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States. This growth includes expansion to multiple campuses, such as City Church in Chicago, Illinois, under the leadership of Pastors Kent and Alli Munsey.
Embracing the example set by Jesus, Family Christian Center Munster is deeply committed to demonstrating God’s love to a world in need. Through its impactful Operation Care ministry, FCC has distributed 5 million tons of food to families within the local community. The hospital ministry provides compassionate chaplains to 23 hospitals in the area. Furthermore, the prison ministry offers hope and guidance for a fresh start to individuals in 5 prisons across Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland.
