In a phrase FBC’s purpose is: To Reach People and Enrich Lives for Jesus Christ. Of course, the BEST way to get to know us and what we’re about is by visiting us on Sunday or during a church event. We hope to meet you soon!

Core Values:
Authority of the Bible - The Bible is God's love letter written to be a perfect rule and authority for our lives. If we live by it then we will receive the greatest blessings this life and the next has to offer.
Relationship with God - We were created for the purpose of having intimate friendship with God for his glory. Sin has separated us from that relationship. However, Jesus Christ died to remove our sin so that we could come close and have a personal relationship with Him.
Community - God desires that we walk with Him in close connection with one another. This includes encouraging, loving, serving, sharing, praying, sharpening, teaching, submitting, forgiving, and forbearing with one another so God's 3-person relationship can be visible through us -The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit relationship.
Relevance - Our preaching and teaching has the goal each week to offer specific "take-home" value for our day-to-day lives. God gives us truth through his Word that helps us where we are at right now.
Christ-centered - Christ is the True Leader of this local church and is the one who changes lives and empowers us to live for God's glory. Therefore our message, and teaching will lift up Jesus and His work above all other things.
Real - We will strive to be a place where anyone can share their failures, struggles, past difficulties, and personal pain in order to receive the genuine grace and love Christ has to offer through His people.
Team - The body of Christ has many people and many gifts. God desires that his people work as a team to be the hands and feet of Jesus doing his work together in the world. Therefore our leadership team has the goal to empower others to do the work of the ministry according to their passion and giftedness.
Friendliness - We are committed to showing compassion and genuine care for all people no matter what color, language, or status. We are all on a journey together with and for one another in honor of Him who created us.
Growth - God saves us for the purpose of becoming more and more like Jesus. We must be engaged in this process in order to enjoy the "abundant life" with Christ. This involves two biblical concepts 1.) transformation in our inner selves by putting off old habits and putting on new habits, and 2.) serving others, using the gifts God has given us; thus fulfilling his mission in the world.
