Their story is a powerful testimony of sacrifice and unwavering obedience to Christ’s call to make disciples of all nations.

Make Habits, Not Resolutions

Jan 03, 2025, News and Updates

Couples Reflect and Reconnect at The Wilds

In mid-October, seventeen FBC couples of all ages headed to a Couples’ Conference at The Wilds Christian Camp in the mountains of Brevard, North Carolina.
