The Interfaith Community Council
Fredericksburg, Virginia
Life's most persistent and urgent question is
What are you doing for others?
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
MISSION STATEMENT:
To bring together diverse religious communities in the Fredericksburg area to collaborate on programs and services to help individuals and families in need.
HISTORY
The Interfaith Community Council (ICC) was established in the early 1970s by a small group of local church leaders. We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization run by volunteers. We currently have approximately 25 local faith based member organizations representing a broad range of faiths.
MEMBERSHIP
ICC membership is open to all recognized religious communities in the Fredericksburg area that are interested in working together, sharing ideas and talents. New members are always welcome.
The ICC meets quarterly on the third Tuesday of January, April, July, and October at 10:00 a.m. at Peace United Methodist Church (801 Maple Grove Drive Fredericksburg, VA 22407). We ask that one or more representatives from each member religious community be present. Each religious community pays annual dues, based on the size of its membership, which help support ICC’s programs. Current dues range from $185.00 to $800.00.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Each year, ICC members elect an executive committee, which includes the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Currently, the following serve as the executive committee:
President Karen Wilhelmsen Robison
Vice-President Nancy Suplicki
Secretary Diane Kowalski
Treasurer Marcia Ransom
