The GRCC
Faith in Action Network is
an association of Protestant and Roman Catholic churches,
religious based agencies, seminaries, and lay/clergy groups that has served Monroe County since 1991. Formerly Genesee Ecumenical Ministries, (GEM), the roots of ecumenical work in this agency date back to 1919 when early churches in the city began to work together to address the common good
for all people.
The name of the corporation remains the
Greater Rochester
Community of Churches.
