The Vision: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

FBC desires to see our little one's fall in love with Jesus and His Word, find obedient Godly living to be the key to success in life in honoring the Father, and enjoy the Church through loving others.  We want to see these little ones be saved, grow in their faith in Christ Jesus, and become future young men and women who will serve God's Kingdom in Church and within Society.  We want to see committed parents who will be consistent in rearing their children by representing the Lord well in their life and within the Church.  We desire to supplement the parents in whatever they may need to raise up the next generation of Christians.

 

In the Works: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)

We are currently structuring our Children's Church to facilitate Bible saturated learning for our little ones through a short lesson, Bible Verse Memory, Puppets, Games, Music, Snacks, etc.  Children learn through play and habitual, rote memory.  Therefore, we will be repeating and reinforcing these lessons and memory verses to place God's Word into their little minds and into their little hearts so that they will be transformed by the renewing of their minds and become born again believers.

 

More Information Will Be Coming Soon!

 

From Brother Bobby:

I would like to thank the teachers who are involved in Children's Ministry for your patience, ease of transition into your world of Children's Ministry, and liberty you have shown me so far.  I sense peace and warm encouragement from each of you.  May God Bless this next generation of Christians!

 
Wednesday Night Teaching E-mail

This web page is created so that parents will be informed of the teachings and discipleship that their youth are receiving.  The importance of these teachings are three fold: 1.  Create a transparent youth ministry so that you will know the spiritual lessons that are being taught, 2.  Provide lessons to be used/reinforced within home discipleship between parents and youth, and 3. To create high, pure and noble thoughts about God and Holiness, so that Awe and Worship of God will be produced and Honor and Obedience to His loving high commands cherished.

 

Below are attachments of approximately all of the youth ministries past lessons.  These lessons are taught during the Worship Setting of Driven. Use them as you wish, but please do not altar any of the contents.  Many sources were used in the formulation of these lessons, including The ESV, NASB, NKJV and KJV Bibles, The Greek New Testamentby UBS, Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology, Andreas Kostenberger's The Gospel of John and A Theology of John's Gospel and Letters, The Word Biblical Commentary, etc.  Each of the pictures seen within the powerpoint presentations are from Google Images.  Each of these powerpoints are for teaching only and not for publication.
