Children (Birth to 5th Grade)
Every Sunday in the Family Life Center
Young children(birth to age 5) are taken to the classes by parents in the nursery and toddler rooms. There are FBC teachers and FBC volunteers who care for your children so you may attend Sunday School and worship. The Gospel Project is being used for Sunday School material for our Kindergarten to 5th Grade students. The children remain in the Sanctuary for worship service, until they are dismissed to Children's Church for Bible lessons, songs, snacks, and games.
Youth (6-12th Grades)
Wednesday Evenings Youth Group and Special Activities
Wednesday evenings, the students get together for Bible Study, games, snacks, and fellowship. The students are led by our Minister of Youth, Peter Simmon. The group meets weekly throughout the year, but also has special events, service projects, and trips. Peter has a parent group, the Youth Ministry Team, assisting him with these events. Youth and parents can learn about topics studied and events on the youth group Facebook page.
