One Mission ...

In 1996 we established Robert Fulton Development, Inc., in honor of my grandfather and founding Pastor of Friendly Temple M. B. Church, Reverend Robert Fulton Davis. 

 

Reverend Davis had a special place in his heart for children and the elderly.  He understood the need to nurture and meet their needs.  It was his unquenchable spirit which led the church in the effort toward community development.   Under his leadership, the church built the first senior housing duplex.  Reverend Davis allowed residents to live in the duplex rent free but utilities only and in 2003, the duplex was eventually replaced in honor of his vision with the Friendly Village Apartments, housing 120 units.

 

We further championed the cause by providing services to an under-served community through Robert Fulton Development, Inc.  This organization initially focused on investing in the North St. Louis community and provided programs to enrich the lives of residents as well as promoting stable communities which will result in self-sufficiency, empowerment and growth. Understanding the need for additional community support, we’ve expanded our reach into the North County and the metro area with community partnerships.

 

Robert Fulton Development, Inc. helps strengthen and develop communities by working with corporate donors and volunteers to offer resources, education and assistance for those who have a need.

 

Today, Robert Fulton operates as the outreach extension of Friendly Temple Church.  Throughout the years, many programs and services have been generated and continue to impact those who have been marginalized and often forgotten.

 

We are blessed to serve the least of these!!
