6 Kenny Branch, SS Director, It is our desire for every person to become a disciple of Jesus Christ who loves God and people. We believe this happens best in a biblical community in which people are learning God s Word, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, ministering to each other, and serving together. At FBC, Sunday School allows you to connect with people in a similar season of life as you seek to live a lifestyle that looks more and more like Jesus. Join us on Sundays at 9 a.m. to find a class that is right for you. For more info, pick up a Sunday School brochure in the vestibule or outside the church office. Questions?

To give an offering is to give above our tithe to support other ministry endeavors not completely covered in the general fund of our church. Here at FBCO, we have numerous designated funds to which we can all contribute during the course of a year. During the months of January and February we will place emphasis on the Alms Fund - A Fund that provides assistance to members of FBC in the time of need and Benevolence Fund - A fund that assists non-church members with financial needs.
