Small Groups at FBC

At First Bible Church, our Adult Bible Fellowships are congregations-within-a-congregation. ABFs provide fellowship grounded in Bible teaching and discussion. However, as believers, we also need relational connection beyond Sunday morning. This type of accountability is necessary in the Christian life; however, it is much more effective in the context of a small group. Small groups help people take the next step to grow in their faith. Life-change occurs as members develop deeper relationships, pray for one another, and keep each other accountable to applying God’s Word in their lives. The essence of small group ministry is believers sharing life together.

Getting Connected
Our desire at First Bible Church is to help people get connected with God and with each other. God has wired us so that we need not only him but also each other. It is impossible to go it alone. We want to help provide an environment for people to connect, become friends, enjoy, and support one another.

Adult Bible Fellowships
Studying God’s Word Together, Relationships with Others,
Caring for One Another, Reaching out to Others
Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) are groups of adults that meet together for fellowship around the solid teaching of Scripture. These groups provide a healthy environment for making new friends and strengthening old friendships. In effect, each ABF is a small congregation-within-a-congregation made up of members who are committed to care for one another.

When and where do Adult Bible Fellowships meet?
ABFs meet on Sunday mornings during both hours (9:15 and 10:45). Adult Bible Fellowship classes are located on the second floor (northeast side) .

Which Adult Bible Fellowship do I attend?
Most ABFs focus on seasons of life, but some are intergenerational. You may want to visit two or three before you decide where you would like to participate. Of course, you may attend any group you wish.
