Baptism During 8am Service! Please join us in encouraging Patience Courtney as she takes the plunge in following
Jesus’ example.“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3: 26-27

In Honor of Our Fathers  FBC is giving a monetary gift to our prison ministry. This ministry brings the good news of the gospel to prisoners in 3 local facilities. They have seen inmates come to know Christ as their Savior and have performed baptisms as well.
