Children’s Church: Our kids are growing, and we need you! If you have a heart for children and want to make a lasting difference, we’d love to have you join our Children’s Church team. You can help our kids discover the love of Jesus in a fun, engaging, and life-changing way! See Pastor Tyler for more information!

Forward in Faith Update: Plans have now been finalized with contractors, and our sanctuary technology renovation is scheduled to begin in July. On July 19, July 26, and likely August 2, worship will be held in the Fellowship Hall. Thank you in advance for your flexibility during this time. Construction and renovation always bring some disruption, but they also remind us that we are tending something meaningful together. This is not just about updating a building. It is about stewarding a place where lives are shaped, where worship is offered, and where God continues to meet us as a church family.

Coffee Fellowship: There will be no coffee fellowship in July due to the Forward in Faith project in the sanctuary.

Backpack Blessing: Students, teachers and staff- on Sunday, August 2nd we ask that you bring your backpacks or school bags to morning worship with you for a special blessing from our congregation to start the 2026/2027 school year!

Sunday Suppers: Join us for Sunday Suppers on July 26 and August 30. This will be a time to meet in someone’s home and share a meal with others in our FBC Family who we may not know as well as we should. Sign up at the Gathering Place to host or attend. All are welcome!

Mark Your Calendar! Sunday, September 27th from 1-4 pm will be our “Hot Diggity” Fall Gathering at the Whittington’s. Be sure to put this on your calendar!
