Happiness Is Preschool…
… is a Christian preschool that desires to develop the whole child: physically, socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. The school is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, and all our teachers are certified by this office.

We can also provide a three day program for the afternoons. A typical daily schedule is: playtime-pickup-group time- bathroom-snack-class time (age appropriate activities)-story-recess.
For more information, please call Happiness Is at 946-5199, or the church office at 947-1881.
Charis Counseling Center …
… provides Christ-centered counseling services to the communities of southeastern and central Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The offices are located in Cummings Chapel behind the main church building.
“Charis” is the Greek word for “grace,” which signifies God’s free gift of love and acceptance to each of us. The Charis Counseling Centers offer a full range of counseling services to the surrounding communities. Each therapist is a trained mental health professional whose personal faith commitment directly influences the process and goals of counseling. It is the center’s intention that all clients served will develop a deeper awareness of God’s grace in their lives as they attempt to resolve the particular emotional and relational problems that they bring to the center.
Charis staff provide individual counseling for children, adolescents and adults, along with families, couples and groups. Their work consists of helping people who struggle with all forms of depressive and anxiety disorders, various forms of addictions, and who are victims of sexual abuse and other types of severe psychological trauma. They also address attention-deficit disorders in both children and adults, and assist in the process of making career choices or changes. Many couples also seek their services to help resolve marital and family conflict.
Each Charis Center utilizes health insurances whenever possible to pay for services provided. Charis currently have contracts with the major HMO’s and managed care companies in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It is the center’s desire to serve all those who come to them, including those who are uninsured. In such cases, negotiable fees are used based on clients’ ability to pay.

Samuel Fuller School …
… is an independently incorporated school currently meeting in FCC’s Christian Education Building. SFS exists to support Christian parents in educating their children to serve God as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ by providing a classical education that is rooted in the Word of God. The school describes its vision this way:
Our vision is to graduate students who love and serve God with wisdom and grace, truth and courage. We want them to recognize God as the beginning and end of all true knowledge. We want them to be known as men and women who listen carefully, think critically, communicate eloquently, serve compassionately, and represent Jesus Christ faithfully. We hope to raise the standard of godliness in our culture one student at a time and thereby advance Christ’s kingdom in this world.
