About our church
Rooted in faith, growing together
We're an ordinary group of people following an extraordinary Savior — right here in Middletown, Connecticut.
Our story
A family on mission in Middletown.
We are a Christ-centered church committed to worshiping our Creator, to living life together, and to showing our community the love of Jesus. We are intentional with kid’s and youth ministry, Sunday School, Mid-week services and times of prayer so your family can grow and worship together.
You can expect a warm welcome, a Bible based service, and relevant teaching.
What we believe
We dream of a church where…
Worship
Worship is a passionate expression of gratitude and love for God, led by the Holy Spirit and offered through the creative gifts and talents He has given each one of us.
Fellowship
Fellowship means we are compelled by God’s love and committed to living life together — nurturing genuine relationships where people feel safe, accepted, and valued.
Discipleship
Discipleship is an intentional, ongoing investment — equipping every generation with the Word of God, transforming them by the Holy Spirit, and helping them disciple others to become more like Jesus.
Serving
Serving means members actively, willingly, and regularly use their skills, knowledge, and resources to serve both inside and outside the church — motivated by their relationship with God.
Sharing Our Faith
Sharing our faith in Christ is a contagious lifestyle — the priority and focus of our church family, taught, modeled, and practiced.
Our mission
To know Jesus and to make Him known — to love God, love each other, and love the nations.
Pastor Chris & Sharon Mallett
After giving his life to Jesus at the age of seven at a church meeting at an elementary school in Danbury, CT, Pastor Chris has spent his entire life in church ministry. He is a graduate of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, serving however God asked him to serve, wherever God planted him. Pastor Chris brings a strong leadership gifting, a burning desire to preach, and an ambition to see relationships (God, marriage, family and friend) grow. Always willing to try new things, new teaching styles, or new approaches to ministry, so you never know what you will see on any given service.
He is married to Sharon, a gifted administrator, whose talents in both Women’s ministry and married couples are a blessing to our church body. He has four children and two grandkids. He loves sushi, fantasy movies, computer games, and tag sales.
Pastor Bec & CJ Willey
Bec grew up in Middlesex County and has a heart for seeing the people of central Connecticut come to know the saving power of Jesus. Though not raised as a Christian, she had a radical encounter with the Lord as a young adult and has loved and followed Him with all her heart ever since. She began serving at FCA in 2023 and received her pastoral credentials with the Assemblies of God in October 2025.
Before following God’s call to ministry, Bec was a professional ballet dancer and an artisan chocolate maker. She loves combining her passion for the arts with her children’s, youth, and young adult ministries — leading her students in dance, acting, and musical performances at FCA’s Easter and Christmas services.
Bec and CJ met in 2023 and were married in October 2025. Together they lead FCA’s Youth Group on Wednesday nights; CJ is a gifted musician who serves on the Worship and Sound Teams. Away from church, Bec loves dancing, sewing, and spending time with CJ and their dog, Bear.
