MINISTRIES

LIFE GROUPS

At FBC we purposefully call our small groups “Life Groups”. It is the intent that on some level our Life Groups “do LIFE together”. That probably looks a bit different in each group, as each one develops its own character depending on its members. However, there are a few core values that we try to emphasize in each setting. The groups are intended for its members to GROW IN WORSHIP through study of the Bible and prayer. Many groups study books from the Bible, paragraph by paragraph, and discuss its meaning and how it applies to real life. Others use a study guide. Either way, there is a real opportunity to get to know the Word of God better. 

The groups are also designed to be a safe place where you can share prayer requests. It is our hope that through these simple but profound activities, members will develop a closer relationship with the Lord. Naturally, this also makes Life Group a place where you can FELLOWSHIP with other believers on a different level than when you just attend a church service. Besides spending time worship together, most Life Groups have special get togethers, and many of them involve some good food. Occasionally a group will get involved in a project of SERVICE. This may mean helping someone in the community who needs care, or painting a room in a local community center. “Doing LIFE together” is meant to bless the members of the group, but we pray that ultimately each member will touch others with LIFE as well.

 

If you are interested in participating in a Life Group, please fill out the form at left or let the church office know. Most groups meet either weekly, or every other week. Note that obviously, for the groups to be able to function well, a reasonable level of commitment is necessary. Also, be aware that there may be a waiting list while we train more leaders.

SERVICE

Many opportunities to serve within our congregation are listed on our Connection Page. Many ladies enjoy planning and organizing Bridal and Baby Showers, Funeral Luncheons, Meals for those in Need, Guest Housing and Seasonal Decorating.

WORSHIP MINISTRIES

PURPOSE STATEMENT

It's been said that "worship" is a verb, it's something we do — both on Sundays as we meet together and throughout each day in our homes and communities. Basically, worship is expressing God's worth. Worship is an expression of all that we are in response to all God is.

 

Our desire at Fellowship Bible Church is to "equip you" to more fully respond to God in worship in every walk of your life.

 

The Worship Ministry at FBC is comprised of multiple teams that implement the ministry (see below).

 

Those interested in joining the worship ministry should speak with the current Worship Deacon or one of our pastors and become familiar with the Worship Ministry Handbook.

WORSHIP MINISTRY TEAM INCLUDES:

Praise Teams - Vocal & Instrumental

Choir - Seasonal

Club 5:19 - Sunday mornings & Children's Choir

Office Teams - Copy, Schedules, etc.

Audio/Visual Teams - Sound, Livestream, PowerPoint

Communion Prep - Monthly

Baptism Prep - As needed

ADULT CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
