Life Groups at
FBC
These groups are the heartbeat of our community—intentional spaces where people connect deeply, grow together in faith, and offer support to one another throughout the week.
Childrens
Our Children’s Ministry is a joyful and nurturing environment where kids can learn about God in a way that is fun, engaging, and meaningful. We are passionate about helping children build a strong foundation of faith from an early age, teaching them who God is and how much He loves them. Through interactive lessons, music, games, and hands-on activities, we make learning about the Bible exciting and easy to understand. Our goal is to help every child feel safe, valued, and excited to come to church, while also encouraging them to grow in kindness, confidence, and character. We believe that children are not just the future of the church—they are an important part of it right now. That’s why we are committed to partnering with families to support each child’s spiritual growth both inside and outside the church. In our Children’s Ministry, every child is known, loved, and guided as they begin their journey of faith.
Youth
Our Youth Ministry is a vibrant, welcoming community where young people can grow in faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover their purpose. We are passionate about creating an environment that is both uplifting and real—where students feel seen, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Through engaging Bible studies, powerful worship, and intentional mentorship, we aim to help the next generation develop a strong, personal relationship with God. We believe faith isn’t just something you learn—it’s something you live. More than just a weekly gathering, our Youth Ministry is a family. We celebrate together, serve our community together, and grow together. Whether it’s through outreach events, Youth Trips, or simply spending time connecting, we are committed to raising up young leaders who are grounded in truth and motivated to make a positive impact in the world. No matter where you are in your journey, there’s a place for you here.

We are passionate about helping young adults build a strong, authentic relationship with God. Through Bible-centered discussions, real conversations, and intentional gatherings, we create space to ask questions, grow deeper in faith, and apply God’s truth to everyday life. This is more than just a ministry—it’s a community where you can belong. We believe in doing life together, from small groups and hangouts to serving our church and local community. Our goal is to equip and empower young adults to live with purpose, lead with integrity, and boldly reflect Christ in every area of their lives. No matter where you’re coming from or where you’re headed, you are welcome here.
Seniors

Whether through group studies, fellowship events, or serving opportunities, we are committed to creating a space where seniors feel valued, supported, and inspired. We believe that purpose does not diminish with age—it deepens. Our Seniors Ministry encourages continued spiritual growth, a vibrant prayer life, and the sharing of faith and wisdom with the next generation. Here, you’ll find a welcoming community where you can belong, grow, and continue making a lasting impact.
