REACH
Connecting with God.
It’s a part of our DNA as a church family to have our doors wide open and to be a place where people who are looking for something spiritual can find a relationship with God through faith in Jesus. Sunday mornings play a huge role in this reach idea as we seek to create a warm, accepting, and grace saturated environment. In such a place we (or someone we know) can connect with the God of the Bible and go deeper in worshiping an adoring Him.

RELATE
Connecting with others.
Relationships are a big part of the way God meant for us to walk this journey of faith. Relate is about finding those relationships that help spur us on to grow closer with the Lord. One of the easiest ways to build friendships here at FBC is in a Sunday school class or small group. In these and other settings we will find real down to earth community with others who are committed to supporting and growing together. We envision having more and more small groups and community building events.

RESCUE
Showing compassion to those in desperate need.
Whether it’s here in McPherson County, or across the world, rescue is about our taking on the responsibility to shoulder the weight of those who live in great need. It’s about seeking the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and discernment in feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, providing education to those without that chance, and helping addicts find freedom. It’s about seeing and then meeting the very real needs of very real people all around us.

RESTORE
Learning and applying our faith.
Restore is all about seeing people’s walk of faith grow deeper and wider over a lifetime. In order to help us accomplish this, we are committed to providing learning opportunities that will help us find biblical knowledge and spiritual truth as we grow into whole persons. Our growth personally and corporately will motivate each one of us to assume responsibility for the health and vitality of our church.

Picture
RELEASE
Using our talents and gifts to serve.
Release is all about seeing people who are growing in their faith begin to dream about how God wants to use them to do new things, and then actually pursue that dream. It’s all about seeing people want more from God in order to advance His kingdom and then actually take steps to make it happen.
