Sunday, September 23

As part of our "I Love My Church" growth strategy this fall, we have invited Mike Napier to come and speak on Personal Evangelism.  Mike is a member of the "Personal Evangelism Training" team from the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma.

Mike will be with us Sunday morning, both services.  Don't miss this opportunity to be equipped for the work of the Kingdom Sunday, September 23.  One of the reasons we love our church is because we love the lost souls where we live, work, and play.

 

I Love My Church – Fall 2018

Posted on by Tommy Foster

I Love My Church

is our Church Growth Strategy for Fall 2018.

For 9 weeks (8 Sundays) our church will engage in multiple outreach and in reach activities for the purpose of Loving God and Loving Others.  By doing so, we are LOVING OUT LOUD that we love our church.  Ultimately, we love our church because Christ "loves the church and gave Himself for her." (Eph. 5:25)

Our launch date is September 9th and will conclude November 11th.  In the middle of the 9 weeks is Welcome Home Weekend on October 13th and 14th.  This will be our high attendance Sunday and will include a Men's breakfast, reunion and worship time on Saturday and pot luck lunch on Sunday.

All activities are FREE and are OPEN to all current and past FBC members as well as Guests!!  So join us this Fall as we celebrate all the reasons WE LOVE OUR CHURCH!
