Get Connected

Everyone needs a place where they are loved, cared for, encouraged, admonished, challenged, held accountable, and also a place to be all those things to others. God has designed the local church to be just such a place, actually---to be such a people. That’s why participating within the life of a local church is a non-negotiable as far as the Scriptures are concerned. In Hebrews 10:24-25 we read, "And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near." The following values guide the community-building, connecting ministries of FBC:

• We value Biblical community--fostered through small groups that develop and enrich community life among God’s people.
• We value mutual assistance in facing life’s difficulties--assistance characterized by prayer, encouragement, counsel, and example so that the hardship grows into an opportunity to know the Lord and His love.
• We value Spirit-led service--through the discovery, development, and utilization of spiritual gifts for each believer for the common good of the entire church family.
• We value self-multiplying leaders--leaders who are following Christ wholeheartedly and are influencing others to follow Christ wholeheartedly too.

There are a number of ways to get connected at FBC. Two paths stand out - Community Groups and Service.
