The Missions Team's Mission Statement

To enlighten, educate, and activate the Franklin Federated Church in its support of worldwide Christian missions

Franklin area

Fish of Franklin, Inc

The FISH program in Franklin originated at the Franklin Federated Church in 1973 when a group of volunteers (from local churches) joined to learn about this international organization. FISH provides rides and other services to local residents in need. Although they now work on a smaller scale, they are still available to help. To learn more about the program you can call 508-528-2121. There is always a need for volunteers to help.

Friends of Franklin

Friends of Franklin is a low key, confidential group that works with the nurses in the Franklin School System to identify children in need. Through this group, donations of clothing are made and gift certificates are available.

Common Cathedral

Common Cathedral is an outdoor congregation, housed and un-housed, sharing God’s love through community, pastoral care, creative expression, and worship on Boston Common. It serves as an important community for people experiencing homelessness, and for faith communities who want to be in supportive relationship with un-housed individuals and their friends. They are non-proselytizing and ecumenical. They welcome and support all people.

Grow Clinic

The Grow Clinic for Children is an outpatient sub-specialty clinic at Boston Medical Center, started in 1984. Children who are referred to the Grow Clinic have been diagnosed with a condition called Failure To Thrive (FTT). Children with FTT have significant problems growing and are not keeping pace with weight or height gain when compared to other children their age. Children who are not growing according to national standards are referred hereby clinics and physicians throughout the Greater Boston area for special care and follow-up.

The Globe

Church World Service

Founded in 1946, Church World Service is the relief, development, and refugee assistance ministry of 36 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations. Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS supports sustainable self-help development, meets emergency needs, aids refugees, and helps address the root causes of poverty and powerlessness.
Throughout the year we collect hygiene and school kits to be delivered to the CWS warehouse from where they are distributed to those in need.

Heifer Project International

We direct our giving to Overlook farm in Rutland, MA, a 270-acre working farm that educates the public about world hunger, poverty and solutions. More than 20,000 visitors come to Overlook each year to participate in tours, service learning groups, educational programs, or to attend special events.

Emergency Missions & Outreach

Each year unexpected occurrences, both natural and human-made, demand our attention and ability to help those in need with prayer, hands-on support, or financial assistance.
