Welcome to the landing page of FBC's Refocus efforts! We hope this will help you get familiar with Refocus, why we're doing it, what it will look like, and what the next steps at FBC will be. If you have any questions, you can send them to Pastor Scott.

Mission Statement - Love God, Invest in People
The Greatest Commandments and the Great Commission give us our mission statement.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.” -- Matthew 22:37-40 (CSB)
“All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” -- Matthew 28:18-20 (CSB)

Strategy
|
We believe the Bible and are committed to teaching and preaching the Bible without apology.
We also believe that we need a "culture of invitation" where people are, with their regular rhythms of life, inviting people to church or to groups or to activities or to ministries with them. We also believe that it's important for us to engage in missions to the Nations (far away) and to our Neighbors (near to us). |
|
We believe that nothing we do is possible apart from a lifestyle of prayer, not just corporately but individually.
We also believe that groups are relational glue. Without these relationships being formed, it's easy to slip through the cracks. But with relationships holding us together, we'll be able to shoulder life's burdens together. Finally, we believe it's imperative for us to embrace the next generation. It's not just our children & students, but anyone who comes after us. |
