You may want to arrive a few minutes early to get a feel of the building and find the service you want to attend! There will be friendly faces to show you around if you'd like too! If you'd like to join from home first, our livestream begins at 11AM.
Parking
Being a downtown building, parking can be a bit tricky. But we do have first-time guest spots available for you in our south lot (near the Shell Gas Station on Stimson Street). Here's a map to get a better understanding of how our parking works. In general, we have access to the lots/streets surrounding our building, if you see a spot, go ahead and take it!
2 Services...?
This part can get confusing! Once you get into our building, where next? We do highly suggest you find a host at one of our entrances to get a tour, but we recognize this isn't for everyone! We have 2 worship services: one we describe as "classic and contemporary" and the other "laidback and loud." At our 9AM service, our pastor will preach from the Sanctuary while it gets live-streamed into the Commons. During the 10:30AM service, our pastor will preach in the Commons. You may want to give both rooms a try to see which one resonates best with you!

Do you have children?
We have a secure check-in system that uses kiosks and coded tags, but for first-time guests, we do this part a bit differently: kids stay in the worship service until after the music portion is done, and when the kids are released for their "FBC Kids" time, you can follow the crowd of them to the kids wing with your child to meet their teacher and get them registered. You can find a host and do this prior to the service during a tour as well if you prefer! Of course you are welcome to keep your child with you during the service if that makes everyone more comfortable too. You can take a look at our children's page to get some more detailed info on our children's ministry.
If your child is younger than 4 years old and you'd like to utilize our nursery (0-3 years), you can check your child in with a nursery volunteer anytime during the service. Located in the kids wing!

Want to know the best way to connect?
Connect Groups
Whether you're new, or you're a long-time attendee, Connect Groups is a great place to connect with others. We meet for 4 weeks during the 2nd service to connect, share one thing that we learned from the message and encourage each other spiritually.
Format: Men, Women's & Couples groups
Youth groups & childcare provided.
We meet as a large group and breakout into smaller groups of 6-8 people for deeper discussion.
This is a chance to dive deeper in the Word and create some lasting connections with people you see every week! Join us!! You can sign up for this even under our "Events" tab!

Can I keep my kids with me?
If you would like to keep your children with you during the service, you are welcome to do so! We also have a nursing mothers room available for those who need a private space with their child.
Am I required to give money?
No! This not a requirement to visiting our church. If you are new or visiting from out of town, please do not feel obligated to give.
Is there parking for visitors?
We have first-time-guest parking available in our "south lot" (see map above) which is on the lot near the Shell Station.
What do you offer for kids and youth?
FBC Kids meet after the musical worship portion of our service each Sunday for their own programming. During the school year, ages 4 years through 5th grade can participate in our Wednesday night programming (AWANA Clubs). During the summer, we will have a VBS program to look forward to. FBC Kids also enjoys some fun family events throughout the year.
FBC Youth meets together once a month on Sundays (called Youth Connect Sunday) as well as on Wednesday nights for Youth Group during the school year. In the summers they split off into small groups. Throughout the year, the youth go off on mission trips, conferences and retreats.
