Resurrection Sunday Schedule

No childcare or small groups. Worship at 9:00 and 11:00.
Our schedule will be a little different this Sunday as we celebrate our Savior's resurrection together. We will not have any childcare or small groups. This allows our staff and volunteers to worship together with their families in the Sanctuary. Also, worship will be at 9:00 (instead of 9:30) and at 11:00. We look forward to worshipping with you!

The agenda will include a vote on the following motion:

The committee will report progress to the congregation no less than quarterly. View FAQs. Here is what our current Bylaws state regarding updates:

  1. Amendments 
    1. New Bylaws may be adopted or the current Bylaws may be amended, changed, or repealed  (hereafter defined as “modification”) by the affirmative vote of a two-thirds supermajority of the members present at a regular or special business meeting. 
    2. Before a vote for modifying Bylaws can occur, a proposed modification shall have been presented in writing at a previous business meeting, and a copy provided to each member present at that same meeting.  Copies of the proposed modification shall also be made available upon request by any FBCNB member.

Special Offering Sunday

Our initial need/goal is to raise $360,000 to begin our church-approved building project. Please pray how God would direct your family to give in support. We will receive a special offering on Sunday, May 1st. This dedicated offering is currently being accepted through the month of April and is a separate offering from our Capital Campaign, which will begin this fall.

Family VBS 2022

At First Baptist, we support family ministry by strategically coaching and supporting families as together we share the gospel, grow in biblical training, and strengthen discipleship from the inside out.

We want to enable parents to literally come alongside their children with the truth of God, His Word, the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, and to support a lifelong effort to grow in the knowledge and understanding of the Lord together as a family.

This summer, we will learn together that God’s creativity didn’t stop in Genesis. The Master Artist is working to redeem, reclaim, and transform us, His creation, to the design He planned for us. We will see the beautiful truth that we are God’s workmanship and will continue to learn to use our talents to bring glory to Him.

Our prayer is that parents will feel fully equipped and supported during this time to help their children see and hear God’s greatness and begin to plant a desire to know Him, love His Word, and live daily for Him.
 

Family VBS 2022


Monday, June 6th - Thursday, June 9th

What will a night at Family VBS look like?

From the time your family checks in, the parents or guardians will participate with their children through the evening as together we all grow to understand that we are Created, Designed, and Empowered! Families will gather at 6:00 PM in the Sanctuary for opening pledges, songs, verses, and video. Your family will move together through four rotations:

  1. Bible Study
  2. Craft Time
  3. Games
  4. Music & Snack

We invite you and your family to join us and other families as together we grab ahold of God’s Word and learn to live daily by the truth, working toward the goal of shining the light of Jesus to those we encounter in the world.

REGISTER

For those who have children that are already grown and out of the home, we ask that you consider coming alongside these families and supporting them by choosing to Volunteer to be a Leader during Family VBS.
