Adult
“…Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”
Ephesians 4:15-17 (NIV)
From College and Career to Retirees, FBCM's Adult Ministry aims to engage adults of all ages in intentional discipleship so we may follow Jesus and become more like him - full of grace and truth.
Sunday Morning
Every Sunday morning, there are classes for Adults (in addition for classes for teenagers, children, and nursery) at 9:30 a.m.
