Fellowship
@ First Baptist
The
Coach of Fellowship’s general responsibilities
include coordinating ministries that promote and strengthen
the fellowship of believers. These responsibilities include
budgetary support and tactical planning.
At First Baptist Church many opportunities for fellowship
exist. Every Sunday the Service Station Café is open
before church during the Sunday School hour and after the
service ends. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and light snacks
are available in the Fellowship Hall. Luncheons also occur
after some Sunday services depending upon the church calendar.
Other church-wide meals, such as the annual Thanksgiving
dinner, offer further fellowship opportunities.
Small groups and meetings promote the fellowship ministry
within First Baptist Church. Junior Baptist Youth Group (Jr.
BYG) and Senior Baptist Youth Group (Sr. BYG) are geared
toward meeting the needs of our younger members. Jr. BYG
consists of junior high school members, and Sr. BYG is made
up of high school-aged students. Both ministries engage its
members in a variety of age-appropriate bible study, community/mission
service, and fellowship activities. A Young Adults Group,
appropriate for post high school graduate, college-aged,
and newly married adults in addition to a Women’s Group
are also available.
The fellowship ministry also provides visitation to members
or prospective members. Members who are elderly, shut-in,
hospitalized, or unable to attend church functions may choose
to receive visitors from First Baptist Church if they so
wish.
The fellowship ministry also provides meals to members who
are coping with a short-term personal crisis, such as an
illness, recent birth of a child, or death of a family member.
If you have any questions about receiving services from any
of the aforementioned fellowship ministries or are interested
in volunteering please contact Joe Sanders, Coach of Fellowship, by e-mail at: fellowship@fbcwlfd.org.
