We believe every person both young and old should have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of fun activities that stimulate, challenge and improve mind, body, and spirit. The community center adds to the quality of life in Dansville by providing healthy alternative opportunities to grow and experience life, to develop physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally in the context of true community. community center adds to the quality of life in Dansville by providing healthy alternative opportunities to grow and experience life, to develop physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally in the context of true community. 

Dansville Foursquare Church (DFC), used to rent space to local business Rogers & Tenbrook Lumber and Hardware store. Eventually Rogers & Tenbrook left to build their own building on Maple St. DFC sought what next to do with the space. It was decided to do something for the community versus seeking out another tenant. The original plan was to create a seperate 501(c)3 entity for the Community Center. This was done and operated for 2 years. Unfortunately, the costs associated with operating the Community Center proved too much. It was decided to move the Community Center organization back under the umbrella of Dansville Foursquare Church. This move allowed for taking advantage of economies of scale through providing and streamlining such things as: administrative support, property insurance, employee disability & Workmans comp through Foursquare programs. The Community Center operates as a brand of DFC, including maintaining a separate budget. All proceeds from fundraising are 100% spent on Community Center objectives.  The Community Center is meant to be a blessing to the community. There has never been or will be a religious (proselytizing) agenda with Community Center programs.
