501 is a Place, a Portal and a Process

501 is a PLACE

It’s a place to belong, a place to be known and really know others.  It’s a space to be real in a way that allows you to relax and enjoy God and each other.  We hope that through time the relationships you develop in 501 will be the kind that encourage, stir, challenge, and grow into the kind of life giving community that the scriptures call us to live out and live in.

501 is a PORTAL

A portal is an entrance or gateway and our heart is that 501 provides a connection to other important activities, relationships and functions.  God has equipped FBC with such a varied and vast amount of exciting ministries to be involved with.  Our hope is that 501 will provide an effective connection point to the dozens of other opportunities that will  see redemption in our lives, connect us to God, and connect us to others such as: men’s and women’s ministries, Celebrate Recovery, Unleash ministries, Missions’ and service projects…

501 is a PROCESS

501 is more than a place to belong and a collection of events, gatherings and connections.  It is a process.  A Process is a series of actions directed toward a specific aim.  Our aim is that we might each be equipped and unleashed to live an irresistible Lifestyle of love and service.  A process of becoming more like Christ, a process of maturing into what God envisions and empowers us to become.
