More about our Year of Rest:
Focus on Rest
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!

A Rest from EC & SMAAC
Experience Christmas and Summer Music and Arts Camp are two of our biggest ministry outreaches at FBC. We LOVE these mission opportunities and have seen God bless mightily through both!
​
They do, however, require a great deal of time and energy from our church volunteers and we all need some rest...so we're taking a year off.
​
There is no plan to quit either of these ministry outreaches - in fact, we are using 2026 to rest and reenergize for 2027 with renewed focus and purpose! We can't wait.
