The Children's Ministry of FFC partners with parents to train up a child in the way he/she should go. We minister to children birth through 11 years old by teaching basic Bible principles and being a living example of God's love for them. This ministry has the incredible privilege of shaping and molding young lives as they begin their Christian walk. The Children's Ministry provides confidence to parents that their child is being well cared for and taught the Word of God while they attend the adult service. Volunteering once a month is required for parents whose children attend classes. All volunteers in this department must complete an application that includes a background check and attend mandatory training sessions.

It is a journey where we learn "One Another" (based on the many scriptures about loving one another, serving one another, helping one another, honoring one another).

You will find friends who will pray with you, laugh with you, and stand with you. Pick up a brochure at the Next Step Counter to learn more about OneGroups that currently available.

James tells us that the "effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." Prayer is essential to God's will being carried out in our homes, church, community, nation, and the world.
