Fostering Connections in our Community and Church Through Sports and the Outdoors

Make new friends, stay physically active, and enjoy the outdoors by joining a sports or outdoors ministry at FBC! We strive to offer a positive environment, Godly mentorship, and recreation with friendly competition for those in our community.

Opportunities for Children and Adults to Have Fun and Be Active

We have a number of sports leagues throughout the year for people of all ages. We have outdoor adventure and mentorship troops for both girls and boys that accept new members each August.
