About Us
Our Mission!
FBC has as it's mission the goal of glorifying God in worship and obeying the command to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our Authority!
We are a Church that believes the Bible is God's Word. We proclaim the good news of Jesus' death on the cross for our sins, and His resurrection and ascension into heaven. The proclamation and teaching of God's word is central in all of our services and ministries.

Our Worship!
In our services we use a blend of traditional hymns and the best of contemporary music.

​Our Building!
Our building is handicap accessible and there is an elevator down to the basement and up to the sanctuary. The nursery is near the entrance to the sanctuary. Restrooms are down the hallways on the left-hand side. The kitchen and fellowship area are located in the basement. 

We are a Bible believing, Bible preaching and teaching local church -
a congregation of believers centered in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We love the Lord!
We love people!
We love our community! 
We love the Word of God!



​God gave us the "Good News" of the Gospel
and He wants the whole world to know
His plan of Salvation.
We can use the following 5 colors
​to remind us of The Gospel.

Black reminds us of darkness or uncleanness
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"

The black page stands for sin. The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of God’s perfect standard. That is the “Bad News!” Everyone is guilty of sin and must pay for their sin! It also is effective to compare the black to darkness, and think about what it is like to be lost in the dark, unable to find your way. The same is true of spiritual darkness. Without God, we stumble our way through life struggling to find the Way. We need salvation!

Red reminds us of Jesus's death for us 
John 3:16 "
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

The red page stands for the blood of Jesus (I John 1:7) which was shed for our salvation. In I Cor. 15:3,4 it says that “Christ died for our sins, that He was buried and that He was raised to life three days later.” He died to take our place, and rose again to prove His power over death!It is through faith in Jesus and through acceptance of His gift of salvation that man is saved and through nothing else. In Eph. 2:8-9, Jesus offers the salvation we need!
​

White reminds us of the cleansing power of the Gospel
II Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The white page stands for the cleansing of salvation. Once we accept Christ, we become a new creation!
 God saves us instantly through our faith in Christ. He washes away all of our sin and makes us white as snow before Him! (Psalm 51:7; Isaiah 1:18) This is the promise of God, that He will forgive us all our sins! We talked about spiritual darkness on the black page, the white can be used as light, or the spiritual sight we are granted once we are saved. ​

Gold reminds us of our future 
Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold,
​as it were transparent glass.

The gold page stands for heaven. The gold page here is another reminder/benefit of receiving Christ.  Jesus has gone to prepare a wonderful place for those who choose to accept Him as Savior. (John 14:1-3)

Green reminds us to grow in our new life
2 Cor. 3:18  "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
​To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

The green page stands for the Christian’s need to GROW IN HIS NEW LIFE! Plants need three basic things to grow: Sunshine, rain and good soil. Well, for a Christian, his sunshine is prayer with the Son. His rain is the nourishment of God’s Word, and his soil is the healthy fellowship with other believers in the faith. All three of these must be present in the life of a believer in order for him to live a truly victorious life.

Come and see what God is doing!
