God has placed each one of us in an arena, where we are given the opportunity to perform our lives for his pleasure. We believe that God is our biggest fan. He is our  greatest supporter and the Mastermind behind all of our life's greatest plays. We believe God desires to hang out with us and for us to hang out with him.

 

At FBC we understand that students are at a critical time of life. Students are changing in every way. Students are discovering who they are supposed to be. They are trying to balance academics with extracurricular activities., their jobs with responsibilities at home, a social life with a family life.

Everything that students participate in reflects their beliefs about worship and the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ. It can be quite a challenge remembering for whom they are performing and in what direction they are going.

   Target Teams
 

Every Sunday Morning at 9:45 a.m.

On Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m. we gather for Target Teams. Students meet in smaller groups with adults who care about their lives to study the bible, pray and support one another. The smaller groups get together occasionally outside of Sunday mornings to eat, recreate and enjoy one another.

   The Arena (Bible Study)

Every Wednesday night from 6:00p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

The Arena is what we call our Wednesday night gathering. We meet each week at 6:00p.m. and we are finished by 7:30p.m. We study God's word in a topical fashion, sing some of today's most popular Christian music, interview a student of the week, preview student ministry events, hang out and even think.

PRE-GAME Wednesdays 3 p.m. - 6p.m.

Pre-Game is the time we spend together in The Student Ministry building before the Arena on each Wednesday afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Students come and do their homework, play video games, fellowship and even eat their Wednesday night meal together.

OVERTIME - Select Wednesdays following the Arena

Overtime is the time we spend together following the Arena on selected Wednesday nights.

  FBU (First Baptist University)

Every Sunday night at 6:00p.m.

First Baptist University is our Sunday night small group time that meets during the evening worship service. At FBU,students gather for a more in-depth time of Bible study. We meet in smaller groups to discuss topics related to the Christian life on a very practical level.

Special Events
 Special events are planned for our students throughout the year. Students have the opportunity to experience God in many various ways, through many different vehicles. We go to camp, have retreats, undertake mission activities, play, worship, fellowship, travel and enjoy the opportunity God has given us at this time of life.
