FGDC Home & Wealth Development Project
The FGDC Home & Wealth Development Project is a faith-driven initiative carried out by Rev. Dr. Frederick Johnson Sr., Senior Pastor of First Genesis Baptist Church and President of First Genesis Development Corporation. With over 29 years of ministry and leadership, Dr. Johnson has devoted his life to exalting Christ, equipping believers, and embracing the community through holistic transformation—spiritually and economically.
In partnership with R Realty Rochester and local churches, FGDC is leading a $45 million community revitalization effort to build 40 brand-new, energy-efficient homes across the city of Rochester. This initiative is more than housing—it’s about restoring families, empowering ownership, and building generational wealth.
Rooted in faith and guided by vision, the project seeks to make affordable homeownership accessible for working families—turning blighted spaces into thriving neighborhoods and transforming lives through stability, equity, and legacy.
WE'RE ABOUT BUILDING WHOLE COMMUNITIES
We equip families with practical tools for budgeting, credit readiness, and smart financial decisions— building a strong foundation for lasting stabilty and growth.
From the first step to the front door, our team provides hands-on support, guiding families with care, confidence, and clarity every step of the way.
Homeownership is just the beginning. Through continued education and trusted local partnerships, we help families thrive long after closing.
