Adult Ministry
Small Groups for Adults
At Faith Baptist, we believe that learning is a lifelong process, so we offer many ways for adults to continue learning, growing, and serving God through our family of faith. As a nurturing family of caring believers, we walk alongside each other and encourage one another to follow Christ as we do life together. Through small group Bible studies on Sunday mornings and conversations around the tables on Wednesday nights, our adults experience the love of God, while building lifelong relationships centered on love, care, and respect.
