OUR MISSION

  • We want FBC to be a place where people ENCOUNTER God and God encounters them.
  • Once individuals have encountered God and their lives have been changed, we want to see them EMBED in a small group. Embed is defined as “to set or fix firmly in a surrounding mass.”
  • We want to EQUIP disciples of Christ for ministry. They should be going deep and preparing to serve the King in His Kingdom.
  • We want to see people move from being consumers of ministry to contributors of ministry. There must be people willing and ready to ENGAGE in ministry
  • Encounter, Embed, Equip, Engage. It's a process and we should always be moving.
