(our Sunday evening worship event for teens), the Xperience! (our Wednesday evening event for teens), and lots of special events and activities, all designed to help students grow in their personal devotion to Jesus Christ.

Do you have adult Bible Study?

ABSOLUTELY! Our Bridge Groups are active, small group fellowships with weekly Bible Study at 9:45 on Sunday mornings. These groups are designed to provide you with a chance to study and grow in God's Word, as well as find a group of prayer partners and friends. Some of our groups have a "target audience," while others have a wide range of ages, interests and life situations. Charles Sylvest, our minister of education, will be happy to direct you to a class after the early service and any of our greeters will assist you if you arrive just for Bridge Groups

Wednesday evenings (August-May) are also devoted to the Bible Study as our Pastor, Dr. James Troglen, leads us in an in-depth study of selected books of the Bible. These studies may span several months and include both spiritual and historical aspects of The Word.

Where do I park?

There is ample parking available on either side of the church. On the east side (closest to the bridge) there is reserved parking for both Senior Adults and Guests. We ask that you respect our handicapped and Senior Adult spaces if you are not, but please feel free to use our guest parking! You can enter from the parking lot into the educational wing or enter through the front doors of the sanctuary.

How do I dress?

There is no dress code at FBC. We are happy to have you, however you choose to dress.

Are you going to make me stand up and wear a badge?

No! During our morning welcome, we will offer you a guest package, but you don't even need to let us know you are there! BUT, if you let us know you're visiting, we'll welcome you with open arms and help you find everything you need to make your time with us special.
