Mission

Our mission is the redevelopment and revitalization of both human and physical aspects of the Renaissance Community. The FBCDC operates the Family Resource Center (FRC), which is the core mechanism for addressing the human services component of the Renaissance 2000 community revitalization initiative. This initiative is a community-wide effort to improve the quality of life for the 4,000 residents and 12,000 employees of the Franklin Township and New Brunswick Route 27 corridor. The underlying premise that guides the actions of the FBCDC is that struggling communities possess tremendous resources, and given an opportunity, will tackle their own social and economic problems.

The First Baptist Community Development Corporation (FBCDC) is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian organization committed to the redevelopment and revitalization of both human and physical capital in the Renaissance Community. Through public and private partnerships, the FBCDC works to improve, enhance, empower, build and redevelop the community as a means to promote self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life of the people who live, work, worship, attend school, or own property or a business in the Renaissance Community.
