Wyatt Yelverton will be organizing the bracket for our second annual FBC Cornhole Tournament—find a teammate and sign up here! Parking will be available in the front lot (across from the Capitol building), allowing us to reserve our back lot for all the activities. We'll have tables and chairs set up for dinner, but you're also welcome to bring your own chairs. In the event of rain, we'll move everything into the fellowship hall. All are welcome—bring a friend!

Join us Thursdays at 10:30am in the fellowship hall for interesting speakers, mission projects, and occasionally, a program that's a little out of the ordinary.

We also have an outing each month, but mostly we enjoy spending time together, learning something new and useful, and always ending with a meal.

September WIIN Meeting

Wednesday, September 2, at 12pm over Zoom

Our guest speaker will be Wake County Sheriff Willie Rowe. Sheriff Rowe will speak about his decision for the Wake County Sheriff's Department to not enter into a 287g agreement with ICE. To receive the Zoom link, register here

Starting this Sunday, there will be a gathering place for guests and visitors at FBC! As you leave the sanctuary, you might notice a table with folks gathered around some snacks. This new table is meant to be a gathering place for visitors who are looking to make a connection here at FBC and learn more about the church. Feel free to stop by and say hello—just leave enough snacks for our guests! The table will be placed right outside of the library on the second floor. If you come to worship and find yourself in conversation with a new guest, don’t hesitate to send them over to—or better yet—join them at our new visitor table. We are looking forward to this new way to show hospitality to our visitors on Sunday mornings!

For a number of years, the Day Missions Fund, administered by the church council, has helped facilitate hands-on missions work around the world and in our own community.

For the fiscal year September 1, 2025–August 31, 2026, the council approved $5,000 for Rise Against Hunger, $750 for Crop Walk, and $8,000 for a Sharefish project in Honduras.

The council is now receiving requests for the fiscal year September 1, 2026–August 31, 2027. Applications may be found here and submitted to Dr. Chapman or brought to the church office. Guidelines for the fund may be found here.

We are grateful for those who envisioned this fund and for all who have contributed to it. It is a sign of our church’s commitment to missions involvement and a means through which to live it out faithfully. We encourage any member or group of people in the church considering a mission project to apply for help from this fund.
