FBC's Mission "Reach out to the world around us and share the evrlasting love of Jesus Christ!" FBC's Vision "To be a Spirited , Growing, and Christ-centered community filled with hope!" FBC's Core Values 1. Jesus is life. The rest is details. Jesus Christ alone is our hope, and the only real and lasting hope for the world. We love Him. For this reason, we don't apologize for the gospel or for putting our relationship with Him first in our lives. We strive to respond faithfully to the call of Jesus to follow Him above all else in this world which so often competes for our time, energy, and attention. 2. Lost people matter to God and so they matter to us.Jesus was sent to reconcile a lost world to God, and He calls us to do the same. We like unchurched people, and we know what a difference Jesus can make in their lives. For this reason we seek to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ. 3. We worship God, not tradition.Where tradition helps to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and further the mission of our church, we embrace it. Where tradition becomes a wall between God and His people, we seek to tear it down. While the gospel message of Jesus Christ remains unchanged, the manner in which it is proclaimed must change for it to be communicated effectively in a changing world. In our worship and in our ministry, we intentionally offer a variety of options from traditional to contemporary and we remain open to new waves of innovation sent to the church by the Holy Spirit of God - all for the sake of Christian mission. 4. Following Jesus is a growing experience.We can't outgrow Christian faith. As modern day disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to move from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity. For this reason we strive to bring people into an ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This growth best happens in small groups. As we grow in faith, we turn our hearts to God, giving of our selves and our resources -- freely and cheerfully. 5. We are one body, united in Jesus Christ. We are a church of individuals, different in many ways, yet called together by God to be one in ministry and mission. As members of the same body, we become more effective when we work in harmony as a unified whole. Among us, love for one another is the norm, conflicts are resolved according to the teaching of Jesus, and we seek to build each other up. We rejoice together, and we suffer together.
