One Daily Decision
In 2022 at FBC we desire to have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16 & Philippians 2:5) forming our prayer, thoughts, words, and actions. Make one daily decision to be formed by the Word of God in 2022. This 49-Week Challenge from Life.Church will take us through the entire Bible in one year. It focuses on Jesus and how the entire Scripture points to Him. We hope you join us to read and reflect on the Word daily. You can also follow this plan on the YouVersion App

Please Answer This Question
There is an expression “the elephant in the room” meaning there is an obvious problem, situation or topic people do not want to talk about. This fall we will have a teaching series titled “Elephants” and we desire for you to help us name some of the “elephants in the room”. What topic(s) need to be explored from a Biblical perspective this fall at FBC? Maybe it is something happening in the world? Maybe it is a hard theological/doctrinal topic? Maybe it is something you have been wondering about but do not want to ask? In the box below please name some of the “elephants in the room” and help us form this series.

Ministries
Middle & High School Student Ministries
HIGH SCHOOL: High School meets Sunday evenings 6:30-8:30PM in the church sanctuary (come in west overhang entrance). This is an awesome time of games, worship, lesson, small group, and more. This Sunday we have our first ever Parent Youth Group! We’re inviting our parents to come experience youth group with their students as they check out what it’s all about! You get to be a student for the night. See you all Sunday at 6:30!
We are currently on break from youth group for a few weeks to allow you to get into the rhythm of school. Then we’ll kick back off in September, currently scheduled for the 13th! Praying you have a great start to the new school year!
FBC KIDS
(Infants – 5th Grade)
*Update: We are continuing our Summer Schedule through Sunday, September 11th. We will return to our traditional church programming on Sunday, September 18th.
Kindergarten through 5th Graders are invited to worship with the adults in the sanctuary, in their very own Kid’s Worship Zone (on the floor, in front of the stage)! Bible story, crafts and games to follow in the Youth Room with our Children’s Ministry staff. We hope you’ll join us in the 10 AM service!
Renovation Project Update:
As we are sure you’ve noticed, the Kid’s Wing has undergone some serious renovations lately! We are excited to see this transformation in process, and are so thankful for the many hands who’ve helped get us to this point.
There is still much work to be done before we can open classrooms up for Awana and Sundays in the fall. If you have an interest in helping, please email Caye and Emily and they can assit you in details for projects that need to be completed.
Awana is fast approaching!
We are gearing up for Awana and will soon be releasing dates and details for signing up your children! As always, we are seeking volunteers to cover all sorts of needs in this ministry. Serving in Kid’s Ministry is rewarding and blesses families both in our church and surrounding community. Sign up in the Kid’s Wing if you are willing to get involved!
