How to Join

FCS membership is not required in order to participate in FCS events.

FCS adult membership is available to men and women, 18 years old and older, without regard to race, national origin, age, denominational preference, or political persuasion.  Members consist of those men and women who have expressed a desire to be a member by completing an FCS Adult Membership Application and who have paid at least a one-year FCS adult membership due.  The FCS Adult Membership Application only needs to be completed once (it does not need to be completed when a member renews his or her membership).

Membership due options include:

• One-year membership/membership renewal – $20.00
• Two-year membership/membership renewal – $35.00 (a 13% discount)
• Three-year membership/membership renewal – $50.00 (a 17% discount)
• Five-year membership/membership renewal – $80.00 (a 20% discount)
• Lifetime membership – $300.00 (equivalent to 15 one-year membership renewals)

Dues are used to help pay FCS expenses.

New and renewing FCS adult members do not receive an FCS Gear membership benefit; however, they can purchase FCS Gear at any time.

All youth who do not have a parent, guardian, or conservator who is a FCS member are required to complete a FCS Youth Membership Application prior to participation in FCS activities.  Youth do not pay a membership due.  For children who do not have a parent, guardian, or conservator who can come to events, we’ll loan them one!

FCS Adult Membership Benefits include:

All supporting FCS adult members receive:

• Quarterly newsletter, Annual Calendar, and Annual Membership directory (for members who do not have web access).

All supporting FCS adult members have the following rights:

• Make amendment proposals to the FCS Bylaws, Statement of Faith, Annual Calendar of Events, and/or Annual Fiscal Year Budget;
• Participate in all supporting FCS member discussions and votes; and
• Check out (borrow) FCS equipment items, videos, and books.

Supporting FCS adult members will have their articles, business directory information, classified ads, hunting and fishing stories, jokes, links, members’ profiles, pictures, poems, product and service reviews and recommendations, recipes, safety tips, and useful information for sportsmen submissions posted on the FCS website.

All FCS adult members will have their Bible study, devotional, praise, and prayer request submissions posted on the FCS website.

FCS Adult membership begins when we receive an applicant’s FCS Adult Membership Application and dues check.  The only difference between supporting FCS adult members and FCS adult members is supporting FCS adult members are current in their dues.

To really feel like you belong to FCS you need more than FCS Gear.  You need to connect with other FCS adult members.  This means 1) attend a variety of events and 2) make friends.  #2 usually occurs when you take advantage of #1.  When you make friends, you will have another reason to look forward to FCS events other than the fact that we are hosting an event that interests you.  Again, participation in events is not a requirement of membership; however, it is strongly encouraged.

All youth who do not have a parent, guardian, or conservator who is a FCS member are required to complete a FCS Youth Membership Application prior to participation in FCS activities.  However, they do not pay a membership due.  Youth FCS membership begins when we receive an applicant’s Youth FCS Membership Application.  All youth FCS members must secure parental, guardian, or conservator permission in order to purchase FCS Gear.  A youth’s youth FCS membership expires when he or she turns 18 years old.  On that date, he or she will need to submit an FCS Adult Membership Application and dues check in order to become an FCS adult member.
