Facility Campaign
God has blessed FBC with a fantastic campus! Over the history of our church, this campus has been used for the glory of God and will continue to be used for that purpose. Our great challenge is that the financial demand of deferred maintenance greatly exceeds our giving.
Please consider prayerfully how you can give above and beyond your tithes and offerings.
Mission Trips 2026
Let’s pray about where the Lord may be calling us to serve—and take the next step together.
We’re excited to share opportunities to partner with our brothers and sisters at Restoration House on domestic and international mission trips in 2026. These trips are focused on serving local communities, encouraging churches, and sharing the gospel. If you’re interested in going, we’d love to start the conversation with you.
Upcoming Opportunities:
- March 19–22: Memphis | (University of Memphis, local nonprofit support, church encouragement)
Cost: $500
- July 27–August 3: Bolivia (medical outreach, campus evangelism, church ministry)
Cost: $2,400
- TBD: Lexington (University of Kentucky, local nonprofit support, church encouragement)

- Collecting small/travel size bottles only of Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Lotion and socks! These items will be packaged with other shower necessities for the homeless.

First step lunch
February 22, following worship
The first step lunch is a relaxed lunch after worship designed for those who are new or curious. This is not a membership pitch, but a hospitality moment. Over a shared meal, meet pastors and leaders, hear the story of the church, learn our mission and values, and see how the FBC Pathway fits together.
The tone is informational, relational, and welcoming.
The goal is simple belonging—helping people move from “I visited” to “I’m starting to connect.”
Our First Step Lunch will take place in our Fellowship Hall, on the first level. Please ask any of our welcoming team or cafe team to point you in the right direction!

Marriage reset
- Friday, March 27 | 6-7pm, Fellowship Hall
PRACTICAL TEACHING ... HONEST CONVERSATION ... INTENTIONAL CONNECTION
The Marriage Reset
An opportunity designed to strengthen and safeguard your marriage throughout the year. Instead of a single weekend emotional high or a short sermon series, this is a rhythm — gathering also in May, and August for practical teaching, honest conversation, and intentional connection.
Couples are invited to join an ongoing challenge that provides monthly date prompts, growth tools, and practical action steps — not just inspiration, but implementation!
This isn’t crisis counseling. It’s proactive investment. Strong marriages don’t happen by accident. They’re built on purpose.
Meal catered by Four Seasons.
Message along with games and prizes - and a give-a-way each gathering all in an hour!
- Cost is $40 per couple
- Limited seating for 20 FBC couples
- Paper/Online registrations and payment by Sunday, March 8.
