Students

Grades 7th - 12th

Fellowship Students is a resource for parents in the discipleship of their students.

Welcome to Student Ministry!

Here at FBC, we seek to remind teenagers that they are not just the future of the Church, but also the present Body of Christ, capable of growing in the grace and knowledge of Him. We are here to prepare and deploy dependent disciples in 7th-12th grade by partnering with parents.  

Sunday Mornings

9:00 AM and 10:45 AM at FBC
We offer a class for middle school students and a class for high school students during both services. We encourage students to attend one Sunday School class per Sunday and serve or worship with their families during the other service. If you'd like more information, fill out the contact form below and we'll get you connected.

All students who attend on Wednesday nights will get plugged into a small group. Small groups are divided by guys and girls and meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month for fellowship, games, prayer, and Bible study with a relevant discussion of how it applies to your student’s life.

 The 2nd Wednesdays of the month are our large group nights which happen at FBC.  The 4th Wednesdays are for Student Ministry Teams to meet and plan upcoming events and happenings within Fellowship Students.

Caleb Pearson

Director of Student Ministry
Caleb has been a member of FBC for his entire life. He met his wife Hannah in Keystone, FBC’s Young Adult ministry, and they have been serving together ever since! They have been blessed with two beautiful boys: Sammy and Charlie. Caleb’s passion for ministry in response to the gospel rests in the completed work of Christ. He is fueled by the forever standing of God’s word (Isaiah 40) and the joyous privilege it is to suffer for Jesus’ name (James 1). He is a zealous teacher, knows a tremendous amount about the TV show Lost, and enjoys making people laugh! You can find Caleb working with our Youth, on our weekly podcasts, and often preaching in the pulpit.

Emma Culler

Associate Director of Student Ministry

Emma Culler has been attending FBC since the summer of 2017. She learned early on that it was better to follow God’s plans rather than make her own plans. Following God has lead Emma on a few different paths, but He has been so good and so faithful to lead her here to FBC to be the Associate Director of Student Ministries. Emma’s desire is that each student would truly embrace their identity in Christ and grow in their knowledge of Christ’s love for them. When Emma is not at church you can find her playing tennis, hanging out with friends at Rose Hill Park, or hosting a Lord of the Rings movie night.

He later attended Ethnos 360 Bible Institute where he met Taylor, who grew up at FBC. After getting married, Micah served at a church in Michigan for several years before moving to FBC. Micah is passionate about sharing with others who God is and what Christ has accomplished on the cross for them.
