FBC Year of Rest
2026
The year of 2026 stands before us as a year of rest and renewal, not as an end to ministry, but as a return to abiding more deeply in God's presence. After seasons of labor, God consistently calls His people to rest, just as He promises, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (Ex 33:14)
You will find that we will be pulling back from some of our regular ministry events this year, such as Experience Christmas and Summer Music and Arts Camp. This doesn't mean we will never do them again, in fact, we plan to restart with refreshed energy and focus in 2027!
We look forward to enjoying a Sabbath-rest and hope you and your family will join us in it!

Starting Now!

Pray about where God is leading you and give in person or online.
