Our Core Values
Who We Are Becoming
Our values shape who we become and form a pathway rooted in our beliefs that leads us toward spiritual maturity as followers of Christ.
At FBC, our desire is for kids, students, and adults to join us on that pathway and to become people who: Follow Jesus, Spend Time With God, Connect in Community, Serve Others, and Live Generously.
Follow Jesus
Following Jesus in an ongoing commitment. When we declare our trust in Jesus and get baptized, share our faith with friends and invite others to church—following Jesus becomes a lifestyle.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
Spend Time With God
God invites us to spend time with him on a regular basis. We can do this through prayer, music, reflection, and reading the Bible.
”I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Connect in Community
God created us to be in relationships with others. We encourage attenders to connect to their church community by joining a group, serving, or even just taking the initiative to say hello to someone new in church.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another. Hebrews 10:24-25
Serve Others
Share God’s joy and love by serving others—in your home, church, neighborhood, and around the world. Discover your God-given gifts and learn how God has uniquely wired you to serve others.
Use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:13-14
Live Generously
God has called us to live generously. We can do this by sharing our time, talents, and finances.
I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. Philemon 1:6
