INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES WEEK

Annually FBC spends the month of October emphasizing the role of our local church in ministering to people around the globe. Guest speakers, special music, missionary visits, and special events like our Missions fall barn party and International buffet (see the church calendar for specifics) make this a great week for informing ourselves about the global challenges that are facing our world presently.

In addition, if you have small children: please do not miss the chance to educate your kids about the importance of missions worldwide by bringing them to meet and connect with missionaries and hear dramatic stories of God's great Presence in the lives of people far distant from West Michigan.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

You can make a difference through the power of giving a simple gift! FBC's anual participation in the Operation Christmas Child effort of Samaritan's Purse International happens in November.
