Adult Small Group Study:
Sunday Morning 9:00-9:45 (Summer Hours)
Did you ever want to know more about a particular aspect of religion? Then join this group which has studied the Revelation of John, how to grow your soul, the most important event in history, and the Alluring Assassin Judith, along with many other topics, all to discover enrichment for our own Christian adventure. The class selects its course of study, acquires resources, and comes together to search and understand its application to our lives today. The leader guides our exploration of each topic. Join us for this exciting group as we walk together into the future the Lord has for us.
Wednesday Small Group
This group meets Wednesdays 11-12:30. We focus on a variety of topics from Scripture.
Praise Team & Handbells
FBCS welcomes all who would like to make joyful noise for the Lord to participate in our music ministry.
Our praise team is a mix of vocals and instrumentalists led by our director of music. They can be heard during worship twice per month, typically on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.
Our handbell choir plays during worship 2-3 times per year and has practice Sundays after service periodically throughout the year.
We love music and welcome musicians to share their talents and special music with the congregation! For more information please get in touch with one of our Pastors or our music director!
Youth Ministry
Ignite is on hold while our youth minister is on sabbatical. Join us in December for a fresh start!
Ignite gathers Sunday morning before service 9:30-10:25am. We eat snacks, hear stories, play games, craft and worship together.
Cookie Time 10:30-11 Sunday. Youth are invited to volunteer to help with the coffee time. Setting up, serving and helping to clean up allows them time to engage with the congregation
On the 2nd & 4th Sundays of each month Ignite leaves worship during the sermon and heads to the classroom for a deep dive study on the same topic covered in the service.
