GENERATIONS
Every Sunday is a great Sunday to be at FBC, but this Sunday is special and you will want to be at worship with us! We'll  CELEBRATE  your gifts to GENERATIONS as Travis and some special friends reveal our pledge total. Together we'll thank God for these gifts and for the many ways GENERATIONS has already touched our lives as well as the many ways it will continue to touch lives in generations to come.

Stay tuned as we prepare to break ground on our new building on May 13th. This is a special time you won't want to miss!
