Small Groups

Small groups at FBC are a fundamental part of our discipleship and caring for one another.
The groups provide a place where we can walk together as Jesus Christ's earthly body and learn to express His indwelling Life.

Small groups are built upon a basic foundation:
1. The Word of God
2. Caring for each other
3. Growing together

Small Groups meet at different times and days during the week, and during recent years have met/ are meeting in various ways.

The groups are led in different ways too, with either a specific leader who:

  1. Takes responsibility to initiate the calling of the group together.
  2. Has a heart for the group that desires for the meeting to be meaningful for all those gathered.
  3. Helps to motivate discussion
  4. Expresses concern and encourages others to be concerned for the spiritual well-being of those in the group.
  5. Can represent their group at a leader/coordinator meeting.

or a co-ordinator who:

  1. Develops a rota for weekly meetings.
  2. Arranges a place to meet.
  3. Acts as a conduit for information and attends a leader/co-ordinator meeting.


Each group has a great deal of freedom to work out how it will operate, but study material is provided during term-time matching the preaching themes for those groups that wish to use it, and free periods when groups can choose their own subjects.

Welcome 4

New to Church?

Welcome!  Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about Frimley Baptist Church.
The Church is involved in many activities, for all ages, some on a Sunday and many in the week. All these activities are explained in more detail under the "What's On" pages.
If you are wondering what would happen if you visited us on a Sunday, here's some information that we hope you will find helpful:

communion


On the first and third Sunday of the month we also hold a half an hour, early morning communion service from 9.00 am - 9.30 am. 






When worshipping with us, the decision to wear a face mask or socially distance is the personal choice of the individual.  




Sunday church serviceWhat should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go or provide you with more information to take away.

At our main service there will be some singing (which you can join in with or not!), prayer, a Bible reading, and a talk based on a Bible passage or theme from the Bible. The words of the songs, Bible reading and visual aids during the talk are all projected onto the wall for easy viewing. A weekly produced notice sheet is also available giving details of the various events taking place during the week and news.





 

ChildrenWhat happens for the children at church?

During our Sunday Morning Services (except in August), we run 'children's church' alongside the morning service to which all young people (ages 0-14) are welcome.  Children stay with their parents for the start of the service and then someone will announce when the children go to their groups.  You will need to go with your children to register them if it is your first time with us. Occasionally some Sundays, we'll have an "All age service" where adults and children stay together to worship, learn and usually laugh a lot! A separate room with toys and crafts for the littluns will be available if the parents/guardians wish to do so. We just ask the parent/guardian to stay with their children throughout the "All age service".

Our Sunday morning service is LIVE streamed over YouTube and parents/guardians of children under 18 are responsible for ensuring their children are not on camera, if they do not wish them to be.
 

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under What's On.
