What can I expect on my first visit?
Here at FBC, you can expect to find a warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with a sincere desire to grow in Christ. During any one of our services, you will enjoy uplifting, revival congregational music, along with heartfelt specials by many of our members. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor McCoy. Each of our services are approximately an hour in length. Also, during both the 10:30 AM hour on Sunday mornings, there are Sunday school and Bible classes for every age group.
What type of church are you?
We are an independent, fundamental, Baptist church. For a better understanding of the spirit of our beliefs, you may want to review our doctrinal statement.
How should I dress?
There is not a dress code at FBC for our members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many in our church family dress in a more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main desire is that you would feel welcome and comfortable during your visit here.
What about my children and teens?
Our youth ministries are focused on presenting young people with the Gospel, then cultivating that in their lives through the services of our church. We believe there must be a balanced exposure of both age-specific services/activities as well as worshiping and serving with the entire church family. FBC is dedicated to helping children and teens grow in Christ and develop sincere love for God and others.
