Contact the FCBC office if you would like more information about any of these ministries WorshipSunday worship services have a flexible liturgical structure which has both musical worship and biblical teaching including a children's component. It is our hope to encounter the Living God personally and corporately. The musical worship is free flowing and "spirit-led", allowing for spontaneous expressions of love and worship. Some of our worship forms are praise and worship music, prayer and intercession, communion, reading of scripture (the Bible), healing prayer, prophesy, personal testimonies and other creative expressions which have included drama, dance and visual art (sometimes based themes, such as the liturgical calendar and Jewish holidays). Our hope is to continually grow in our love of Jesus and freedom to worship and serve Him, relying on the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the application of our spiritual gifts as the Body of Christ. Sunday SchoolOur heart is to bring our children to Jesus and help them to grow in their relationship with Jesus, God our Father, and the Holy Spirit. We have developed an intergenerational Bible Study that walks through the entire Bible each 5-6 years. Each year we study a portion of the Old Testament, a Gospel, and various NewTestament letters--all chronologically. Each age level walks through these studies at the same time, at times interacting in various teachings. We meet at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning except during special break times. Please check our church calendar for more information on the schedule. Mighty Kids BrigadeMighty Kids Brigade invites children ages K-5 to experience the Father's love. There is freedom to worship Him through a variety of different ways. Our older youth may choose to come along side to help serve our leaders. Our curriculum explores more of the conceptual ideas that we are learning in Sunday School. We also include praying and learning about God's people today and yesterday--missionaries, hero's of the faith, current events etc. as well as talk about various teachings that have specific understanding in our church-- such as communion, baptism,and the Holy Spirit. The children are released each Sunday during the teaching time of the morning service to participate in MKB. Nursery-ToddlersThere is care provided a rotation of volunteers for nursery and pre-school children during the Sunday morning service. HousegroupsHousegroups, ranging from 8-15 people, are the primary expression of community within FCBC. Groups are diverse and generally meet in a committed way on a weekly basis. Everyone calling FCBC their home is encouraged to join a housegroup. Tree of Life HousegroupTree of Life is a unique housegroup open to members and non members of Faith Community Bible Church. You may attend on occasion or regularly. Together, we pursue Jesus and learn how to "eat" or take our life from the Tree of Life – from our source – Jesus. We emphasize learning how to walk in freedom in Christ, how to journey into emotional wholeness and how to release the Lord's presence into the world around us. We meet on Friday mornings from 10 AM to noon in the sanctuary of FCBC. AlphaAlpha is a periodic ten week course held at the church. It is a practical introdution to the Christian faith. Each evening includes a meal, a talk, and an opportunity to meet in discussion group. The evening sessions begin at 6:30 pm and are done promptly at 9 pm. There is a retreat day during the 6th or 7th week. Topics covered are: "Who is Jesus?" "Why did Jesus die?" "How does God Guide Us?" "How can I resist evil?" "Does God Heal Today?" and "Why and how should I Pray?" We will post our next Alpha course here on the Web site. Prophetic MinistryWe have a growing desire to hear the words God is speaking out through the Holy Spirit for today in all the various forms He chooses to speak. We periodically meet together for "Roundtable sharing" to hear what God is saying over the body. We also exercise the prophetic gifting in personal and corporate ministry times. Technical TeamThe technical team serves the body of FCBC by operating and maintaining equipment for sound, lighting, overheads, video, etc. which are used in a variety of settings such as Sunday worship, Thursday worship practice, Family meetings, Conferences held at the building and other functions. We also explore new technology and advise the Elders regarding new purchases.
