Experiencing God
Most Bible studies help people; this one changes them forever. For more than 15 years, God has used Experiencing God in His work, showing believers how to know Him intimately while encouraging them to step out in faith and join Him in His work - with miraculous results. God has more work to do - will you join Him?

 

 

Worship: Believers Experiencing God
All believers can benefit from learning what it is about worship that really matters to God. This resource can help guide your church to remember the true and proper focus of worship.

 

Seven Words of Worship
Presents simple, foundational truths about biblical worship that helps believers encounter God in unique ways. This 8-week study combines Bible study and biblical narratives with real-life stories and practical and personal applications to help clarify and process the material. Key Scriptures reinforce biblical truths central to the study and help learners hide God’s Word in their heart.

Sunday School is the foundational strategy at FBC for leading people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and for building on-mission Christians through open Bible study groups that engage people in worship (Adore God), fellowship (Love all People), ministry (Invest in God's Work), discipleship (Value God's Word) and evangelism (Expand God's Kingdom).   

 

A Trusted Friend 
Did you know that a church member could actually be the one best-equipped to minister to a person during a time of need? This study doesn’t pretend to offer the training, supervised practicum, skills, or license to provide expert professional care. What it does promise is to help participants develop a heart of compassion, learn to listen more than talk, and identify the root of a problem.

The Body Life Journey

It is an intentional discipling process that includes orientation, assimilation, gifts and relational style discovery, and identification of ministry opportunities based on giftedness.

Bible Study with the Pastor
Facilitator: Bill Fort, Pastor

Location: Sanctuary

Date: Every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. 

 

God reveals Himself to us so we can adjust our lives to His. He wants to reveal His glory to a waiting world through us. The only way He does that is when we completely allow Him to manifest Himself through us. As we experience God on mission, we do not choose our assignments. He does. Our ultimate goal is to allow God to reveal Himself through us as He did through the people of the Bible.   A natural follow-up to “Experiencing God,” this study provides a wealth of biblical understanding that will help learners as they seek to join God on mission. The study focuses on how Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, Paul, John and Jesus in His earthly ministry did so, and how their lives became radically different because of it.

 

 

The revised edition of this popular evangelism resource, presents a simple and relational approach to witnessing that underscores the dependence of God’s power for the results. Birthed out of the radical life-transformation of its author (former brothel-owner turned Christ-follower), method teaches believers how to navigate a witnessing conversation in everyday situations.
