Fbc: Ministries

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
Matthew 18:20 (NIV)

Here at Faith Bible Church, we believe God has given each of us spiritual gifts and
loving hearts to minister to one another. Our Small Groups Ministry provides an atmosphere in which believers can grow in their understanding and application of God’s word. We offer groups to fit a variety of schedules, childcare requirements, and spiritual needs. Each group is designed to help build more intimate fellowship within the church and to teach, challenge, and encourage believers.

Thur./9:30am: 'Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy'" (by Beth Moore)

(Childcare Provided) Join Beth in a faith-building12-week study of prophecy and learn how to live with integrity in today’s self-absorbed society. The prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures to compromise his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and to confront temptations and threats. Today, believers in Jesus Christ face many of the same trials.
This Old Testament Bible study falls in two parts. The first portion, from Daniel chapters 1-6, deals with Daniel’s life as he faced the kind of pressures and temptations Christians encounter today. Daniel models how to develop enduring integrity in an enticing world. The second portion, chapters 7-12, explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Jesus Christ.. (Leader: Tita Harris)

Missions - As Christians, we have been charged with spreading God’s word to people all around the world. Here at FBC, we strongly believe that Christians have a responsibility to reach out to unreached people, not only in our own community, but throughout our nation and the world. We encourage members of our congregation who have a passion for this type of service to pursue missionary opportunities, and we support missionaries serving in a variety of areas through prayer, encouragement, and financial assistance.	The goal of this dynamic and ever-expanding ministry is to help spread the word of God until we see our Savior glorified among every tribe, tongue, people, and nation of the world.
