Youth Discipleship

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:37:21 -0600

High School Sunday Night Discipleship is now known as "The Tribe." The name of our group comes out of 1 Peter 2:9 stating that "You are a chosen tribe, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." The Tribe meets Sunday evenings from 5:30-7pm at the Mims' residence for all those in grades 9^th-12^th. This is time of fun and fellowship followed by diving into God's Word. Come and be a part of The Tribe!

Middle School Sunday Night Discipleship is now known as "Momentum." This group is a time where middle school students can gain momentum in their spiritual walk through exciting activities with one another and through innovative Bible study. Momentum meets Sunday evenings from 4:30-6pm in room 131 for all those in grades 6^th-8^th.

Verse of the Week

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:13:28 -0600

Welcome to the Women's page at First Baptist Church Rockport.

The ladies at FBC were inspired by Beth Moore during our simulcast back in August to memorize scripture. "Delight yourselves in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm. 37:4)." What better way to delight ourselves than by immersing ourselves in His Word. Would you like to delight yourself in the Lord...then challenge yourself! Memorize a verse every two weeks and join the fellowship of women who are drawing close to the Lord by burning His Word on their heart. Click here to join us!

New Teams Forming!

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:39:25 -0600

We ask all FBC members to prayerfully consider either joining one of our new ministry teams. Sunday School classes should begin now to talk about who will serve as their representative on the various teams. Contact Scott Jones or Gains Gardner for more information.

1. Connect Team: responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating FBC's efforts to unite believers in agape love.

· Made up of Connect Leaders from Adult Sunday School classes and volunteers from the congregation.

· This team will meet with the pastor to study what it means scripturally to connect with the body of Christ and experience koinonia, and prayerfully consider ways to engage the members of FBC in meaningful relationships.

· The goal is to have quarterly church-wide fellowship events, and monthly or quarterly Sunday School Class fellowships, and to pray consistently for the unity of our church.

It's that time again for See You At The Pole! Thousands of students all across the nation will converge on their campus' flagpole the morning of September 23rd. The theme verse for this year is 2Kings 22:13a saying "Go and Pray." I challenge every Christian student to take a stand for Christ at your campus on September 23rd and pray for your school, your peers, and the nation. Remember students, Jesus stood and died for you on the cross, and now it is time for you to make a stand for Him!
