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.
