Worship: Different Styles for different people

cross-dove-light.jpg

Our hearts are drawn to worship the One who loves and saves.  And at FBC there are so many ways to experience that worship.

We invite you to join us as we worship Jesus together.

Sundays at 8:30 a.m. - We celebrate Him in a contemporary worship service that will thrill your spirit and speak to your heart.

Sundays at 11:00 a.m. - We celebrate Him in our traditional worship service that speaks to our hearts and moves our spirit.

Sundays at 5:00 p.m. - We meet in a relaxed setting to study God's Word verse-by-verse.

Experience God's presence and movement with us.  You will be changed.
 
Can you drive?  Can you ride?  Can you call?

You can be part of our Van Ministry!

God is blessing FBC with many new hearts.  But there are many who cannot join us unless we can go get them.  In fact, we already know of some people who would come if a van could pick them up.

If you know of some who "need a ride," please let the church office know (762-2343).

Cooper Hogue is heading up this wonderful ministry, and we can still use some more help.  We are in need of people willing to drive or ride with the driver to pick up people and take them home on Sundays and Wednesdays.  We also need some more people who can help us contact those who are interested - to line them up for pickup.  Please call the church office if you can help (762-2343).
 
Join Us in Prayer
Prayer Ministry

Prayer is not only a wonderful blessing, but it is absolutely vital for Christians and the Church.

Prayer Meeting is a special time each week (Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m.) when we focus on prayer.

But you can also be part of our expanded prayer ministry.  To learn more or to submit prayer requests, click here.
