FAMILY CHURCH
OUR STORY
How it all started...
Starting in 1982, our founding pastors began working in children's ministry.
After three years, Pastor Philip Cochran felt led to start a new church. Paul Salazar (Pastor Kathy Cochran's father) spoke a prophecy over this ministry, stating we would be in "the ministry, building buildings, and building people."
Small beginnings...
First known as "Trinity Christian Fellowship," our pastors founded our church on April 21, 1985. Mary Cochran (Pastor Philip's mother) used to play underneath the building when she was a child!
Expanding the vision
On December 11, 1988, we changed our name to Family Worship Center and moved into a larger building. This name change was meant to be more in line with Pastor Philip's vision at the time.
Growing up...
Palm Sunday, 2004, marked our first service in our current building. We have seen God move in marvelous ways, and we continue pushing forward to reach the unreached.
We are currently purchasing 60 acres to further our vision and use every available outlet and resource to share the gospel, while also taking care of the least of these....
Consider partnering with us as we continue to grow and push forward as hard as possible to take back what the enemy has stolen, and build God's kingdom!
OUTGOING MISSIONS
At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to serving those in need.
Food Pantry
We operate a fully functional food pantry to meet the growing need for food assistance in our community.
Everyone is welcome — no questions asked. Whether you're facing temporary hardship or ongoing challenges, we're here to help ensure no one goes hungry.
Homeless Ministry
Our second active outreach is our homeless ministry, where we serve hot meals in the downtown area.
In addition to food, we provide essential supplies such as clothing, toiletries, blankets, and other items to support those living without shelter.
This ministry is focused on compassion, dignity, and consistent care for those often overlooked.
We are excited to share our vision for the future:
-
Expanding our food pantry to serve more families with greater consistency and care
-
Growing our outreach to the homeless, offering more resources, shelter assistance, and long-term support
-
Creating more programs and activities for children, giving them a safe space to grow, learn, and thrive
Every purchase you make helps fund these vital projects and the ongoing initiatives of our church, established in 1985. Together, we are enriching lives, uplifting the community, and spreading positivity and hope to all.

Create more programs and spaces for children to learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment
Host more community events that bring people together in faith, hope, and love
