EVENTS //
Please join us on Wednesday, February 18th at 6:00 PM for our Ash Wednesday Service, as we begin the season of Lent together and receive the imposition of ashes.
As we have done in previous gatherings, we will spend time lifting up prayer concerns for our community and our world. In addition, we are excited to be joined by a worship band and to share moments of Praise & Worship, led by our very own Jo Stokes. If you plan on attending, please register with either Zach Mason or Sarah Lewis.
Newcomers’ Brunch will be a casual opportunity to meet some of our pastors and staff and to learn more about the life and ministry of the church. Interested visitors are asked to RSVP to Sarah Lewis, and to include any dietary restrictions and childcare needs.
If you are new to our community and interested in this event, please contact Sarah Lewis.
On March 8 at 10:00 AM, we will host a Church Tour, giving participants a chance to explore our expansive campus.
If you are new to our community and interested in this event, please contact Sarah Lewis.
On March 15 at 5:00 PM, we will gather for a Newcomer’s Dinner, where attendees can connect with fellow members of the church—including our deacons—in an intimate setting over a delicious meal prepared by our Director of Worship Arts, Kathryn Hargrove.
If you are new to our community and interested in this event, please contact Sarah Lewis.
Finally, on March 22, we will offer a New Members Class for those interested in learning more about what it means to be Baptist and what it means to become a member of FBCD.
If you are new to our community and interested in this event, please contact Sarah Lewis.
