A Note to Parents

At FBC we believe that discipleship starts at home. As parents/guardians you have a greater impact than any pastor ever could on your teen! The Student Ministry is here to help you get equipped to spiritually engage your student. There will be weekly lessons, questions, and links to other resources to help you. We hope this is a helpful tool for you!
