Summer Schedule for Sunday Evenings begins June 9th This summer, we will be taking church outside of the church walls and hold services in and around our community. Here are the 3 opportunities where you can join us in following The Great Commission... Worship & Bible Study at the Nursing Home in Bridgeport to minister to those hurting and in need of our support & encouragement. Games & The Gospel at Harwood Park in Bridgeport. The Hispanic community is relatively unreached in our area; this would give us an opportunity to play games, share the Gospel, teach God's Word and pray with these people. Outdoor game time & Bible Study on the grounds of FBC for the local children in our community. Please be in prayer for where you and your family can serve this Summer! Please also be in prayer that God would raise up leaders to help support these ministries and that He would call bi-lingual people to help us.

The Christian Church
across the street from our church has again asked that we please, please do not park in their parking lot on Sunday mornings. They have several members that are having trouble finding parking spaces on Sunday mornings because our church is parking in their parking lot. Please be considerate for their members and park in our lots only. It is ok to park in their lot on Sunday night or Wednesday night as they do not have service but please reserve Sunday for their church members only.
