At FBC, we believe that groups should be a place where people can pray for and support one another, study God’s Word, and discuss various issues and challenges of life. We think that sustained life change is best achieved in the context of community, and we want First Baptist Church to be that place for you.
Sunday Morning Small Groups
How do I find a small group on Sunday morning?
At our Welcome and Information Center, which is located in the main entrance area of the back of the Worship Center. People are stationed there to answer your questions and help you find the location for your small group.
What will happen when I arrive at a Welcome Center?
You will be greeted by volunteers who will give you some printed information and answer your questions. They will even walk with you to help you find small groups for you and your family.
Which Sunday morning small group and Worship service should I attend?
We have small groups for all ages (including children and students) at 9:30 and 11:00am. We even have a few adult small groups that meet at 8:15am if you're an early bird.
