Epicenter Youth Ministry (D002): Epicenter Youth Ministry focuses upon our 6th-12th grade students. Epicenter seeks to draw students closer to God, through faith in Jesus, by becoming empowered by the Holy Spirit. This goal is accomplished through large group gatherings on Sunday nights at 6:30pm in the FBC youth room; through Sunday School and Small Groups, and through trips, camps, and special events designed for students. Adult volunteers are always needed and welcome. Adult leaders will participate in leading games, small group discussion, and help organize events.

Small Groups (D003):
Small groups offer a place to connect with other believers in fellowship; to grow in our understanding of the Bible, as Jesus' own small group of disciples did; to meet the needs of others in your group in ministry; to become equipped for evangelism; and to worship God through practicing godly behavior. Groups study a broad range of topics throughout the academic year. To join a small group, look for times when sign ups are being offered or contact the small group coordinators.
