Our Ministry
Being used by God to ministry to the people of Elba and the surrounding area since 1882.” New to FBC?Get In TouchOur Mission
We exist to glorify God by Meeting for worship, Maturing in our faith, and Making disciples.
Meet
God’s word instructs believers “not to neglect meeting together.” According to the Bible, meeting regularly enables us to worship corporately and encourages us to continue maturing in our faith. (Heb. 10:24-25, 1 Thess. 5:11)
Mature
Once saved, Christians begin the sanctification process. We are to be ever maturing in our faith. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth as we draw near to God through prayer and Bible Study. (Eph. 4:13-15, 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Make
As Believers become disciples of Christ, they are to make disciples by sharing Christ with all and training in righteousness. The lost depend on our faithfulness; God desires to use us for His glory in our families, communities, and world. Each is called to various services, but we are all commanded to share the Gospel in word and deed. (Matthew 28:18-19, Matt. 9:35-38, Rom. 10:13-14)
Ministries
Sunday School
FBC Elba has graded classes from nursery to adult. Every class provides Bible-based study on Sunday mornings at 9:00. Nursery, children, youth, and adult classes. You can expect sound Bible teaching during our weekly Bible study at 9:00 on Sundays. In addition to the intimate small group atmosphere, quarterly fellowship time outside of Sunday mornings promote further unity of Spirit within the body of Christ.
Men’s Ministry
Provides the men of the church a place to gather to study God’s Word and mentor each other to become mighty men of God. Men (youth and up) meet each Saturday morning at 7:00 AM for prayer and fellowship. Men’s Bible studies are offered periodically to promote spiritual growth with a desire to see Godly men lead their homes and the church.
Women’s Ministry
Provides the women of the church a place to gather to study God’s Word and mentor each other to become mighty women of God. The Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) and periodic book study groups provide regular opportunities to be engaged. These ladies (youth and up) meet quarterly to study God’s Word and apply what they learn by seeking ministry opportunities in the church and community.
Adult Choir
The adult choir provides support to the music ministry by leading in the morning worship time on Sundays. While traditional hymns are sung, you will find a blinded worship service that also includes some more contemporary selections. If you desire to be involved in music ministry, we would love to provide you with an opportunity to serve. The choir meets for rehearsal on Wednesday nights at 7:00.
Youth Ministry
Provides youth with an opportunity to receive Christ or further develop their faith through corporate worship, Bible study, prayer, and engaging group activities. The importance of accountability and spiritually maturing is taught/encouraged throughout the week in addition to regular worship times
Children’s Ministry
Provides children with a learning environment where they are first taught of God’s love and our love for Him in response. The basic foundation of the Christian faith is taught through Bible stories with crafts and games being used as visual aids. Songs are also part of the curriculum to help keep the children engaged so that every opportunity to communicate the Gospel is taken. Children are not to be hindered as they come to Christ; spiritual growth continues beyond salvation.
