First Bible Church | Decatur, Alabama

Reaching the Community

First Bible Church Family is committed to reaching out in our own community. Many of our members are active volunteers and supporters of organizations such as the Sav-a-Life Pregnancy Center, Habitat for Humanity, the Tennessee Valley Outreach Shelter, and the Neighborhood Christian Center.

Featured Local Mission:
The Sav-a-Life Pregnancy Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for women in a pregnancy-related crisis by meeting their emotional, physical and spiritual needs, enabling them to choose life.

Our aim is singular: make disciples — both locally and globally.
Local outreach is tough enough, but making disciples globally? How does FBC reach the nations? We pray!… We not only pray for our missionaries and the people they are ministering to, but we also believe it is our responsibility to support these missionaries financially. We send aid in the form of financial support, supplies and love. Currently, FBC supports over thirty-one missionaries in the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia.

Mission Trips for 2008
Our church also organizes short-term trips each year to provide vital, first-hand missionary experiences for our members. Beginning in May through August of 2008, FBC has scheduled for 6 teams to travel to a wide variety of cultures and climates to help our missionaries with projects such as remodeling, construction and ministry evangelism. The areas that will be visited include; Azerbaijan, British Columbia, Ukraine, Guatemala, Moldova and Portugal. For more information contact the church office at (256) 353-2711.

Annual Mission Conference
One of the highlights of our church’s year is our annual Mission Conference. During the conference, many of our missionaries return to Decatur for a long weekend of reacquainting us with each of their individual missions. It is a warm and wonderful time for the FBC church family and friends. There’s even special activities for the little ones at The Great Kid’s Mission Conference.
