Become a Volunteer
We’re so grateful for our Sunday volunteers! Our Welcome Team and Grove Kids Team help make FBC vibrant and loving.
As we switch to two services starting Dec. 21, we need more helping hands on these teams. If you’re interested in serving, we ask you to pray about it first and then connect with the Church Office for your next steps.
