At FBC, we have a variety of informal groups that are run by our members for our members.

These contribute to our church ministry and provide an opportunity to build personal relationship and provide encouragement outside the familiar church setting.

For information on children's groups, please see the dedicated children and youth pages.

As part of the our church fellowship, members participate in weekly housegroups meeting.

House Groups are one of the most important ways of deepening relationships and providing a place for this kind of mutual care and encouragement.

A House group usually consist of 8 - 15 people, who meet together once a week in someone's home for Bible Study, prayer and discussion. Each group is different and follows its own study plan that is typically chosen by its members.

We also have a group specifically for young adults (over 18 and up to 25) after the evening service on Sunday.

For more information about the House Group meeting, please contact the Church Office.
