The Cross – A Special Message With Music

Join us Sunday, March 31 for The Cross. a mixture of music and message drawing our hearts and minds to the cruelest, most beautiful image of love and grace ever known. 

We begin Resurrection Sunday with our annual Sunrise Service at 7AM, Fellowship Breakfast, and 10AM Bible Fellowship classes. Then at 11AM, we will meet together in the Worship Center for The Cross (Philippians 5:2-11)

Come consider what great Love of Christ the He showed, by taking , the nails, our sin and shame. Survey the Wondrous Cross, and see the truth: that It Was Finished On The Cross!

Come Meet Me At The Cross: Trust in Him alone – because Jesus really did do it all, that we might be forgiven and set free from the burden of sin and shame.

The Great Jungle Journey! #FBCVBS2024

June 3-7, 2024

Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?

livesAt #FBCVBS2024, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday lives.

Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!

FirstMEN – Fellowship Breakfast

FirstMEN meet on the first Saturday of each month for breakfast, fellowship, and a relevant devotional with discussion. All men are welcome! There is no mandatory fee for breakfast, though we do have a voluntary contribution box to help offset the cost. The official time to eat is 8AM, but several gather at 7AM to cook and have pre-breakfast fellowship as well!

This group also plans events and opportunities for both service and leisure. In April of 2023, several of us gathered for breakfast and then traveled to Tulsa for the Wanamaker Arms Show! We would love to include you in our events and fellowship as we seek to grow in our relationship with Christ and one-another as brothers and men of God!  For more info, text 479. 662. 5579 and request to be added to our GroupMe text reminder list!

Resurrection Sunday (Easter) Is Coming!

There are few realities more important. to the Christian faith than that of the Resurrection!  Paul wrote to the church at Corinth:

For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. (1 Corinthians 15:16-17)

Some argue that Scripture never commands Christians to celebrate “Easter”, yet can one deny that Jesus’ own followers rejoiced and celebrated His rising from the grave? It is the resurrection that made all the difference! And just as Paul penned in the verses above, without the resurrection, we are the most pitiful of people!

Join us Sunday, April 4 for our Easter Sunrise Service at 7AM, or for our Easter

choir production of One Day (arr. Russell Maulden) at 11:00AM.
