EXPECT TO BELONG
Visiting a church can be intimidating
But when it comes to FBC, you can relax…
We’re not perfect.
That’s probably why we make such a close family, because we’re all still growing in grace. Noone has arrived. We’re not evaluating you—when you walk in, we’re glad to see you! Don’t worry about having to measure up or fit in. None of us really measure up, and we’re all very different. Our family is very diverse, so fitting in isn’t an issue.
We’re not very religious.
Honestly, religion has let a lot of people down. Religious structures and systems are confusing, complicated, and disconnected from real life. We would love to help you move from “religion” into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. If you feel new to it all, that’s ok! We are a community of believers at different stages of our walk with Christ, but all striving to grow together.
We seek to be understood.
We worship Jesus, study the Bible, and encourage each other in simple terms you’ll be able to connect to your daily life. We believe and teach what the Bible actually says and why it matters. You won't find an emphasis on self righteous man-made traditions. We open the Bible and apply it to real life in the twenty-first century.
Alot of us are new!
We really are just regular, friendly people. “Religious” people often come off contrived, artificial, and argumentative. You won’t find that at FBC. We’re like you—working hard, fighting for healthy relationships, looking for encouragement, and glad to have some good friends who also have faith in Jesus Christ.
EXPECT TO GROW
Your experience with us will be encouraging and meaningful!
First, expect a friendly, grace-filled culture.The gospel of grace is the center of everything we do at FBC. Our family is warm and welcoming.
Expect some help along the way.
Greeters will welcome you and help you find classes and nurseries, as well as some coffee!
Expect to find a place where you fit. Nurseries, children’s ministries, student ministry, and adult groups are all well-planned and prepared so that your Sunday is well-invested time of personal growth.
Expect meaningful worship.
At FBC, we worship Jesus. We believe the entire gathering is to be an offering of worship to Christ (including giving, prayers, music & preaching). You will find the music Christ centered and refreshing. Our goal is worship, not entertainment.
Expect a practical Bible message.
Pastor Brian will teach the Word of God in ways that will clearly explain its truths, while giving practical application to daily life. The Bible has the answers you’ve been looking for, and it’s essential for your journey through life.
Expect to be impacted for the better. Our goal is simple—to love and encourage you. Whatever you’re facing, wherever you come from, whatever decisions you are up against—God’s word and God’s love will make a massive difference.
Expect to connect and grow personally. Every week, FBC welcomes guests who would not call themselves “Christians” or even “religious.” Many today are sincerely looking for a truthful, spiritual alternative to both. We believe Jesus’ gospel provides the best answer for the soul.
FBC is for the skeptic or the believer. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, have an open mind and come hear Jesus’ message taught clearly and practically. Investigate who Jesus really is and discover what most religions never tell you about the Bible. To discover more, download the free eBook—DONE!
