Every Bible and Life Group has a dynamic Bible study each
week. Many of the classes are small enough where you can ask
questions and gain personal insight into God’s Word. Here are just a few examples
of Bible and Life Groups that might interest you. A full list of all the groups can be
found at the information counter in the Commons. There will also be someone there
to answer your questions and help you locate a Bible and Life Group that you will
thoroughly enjoy.
Saturday Evening:
• If I could ask God...
• Crazy Love
• World Religions, Sects, and Cults
• Truth that Anchors us in the Storm
Sunday:
• A study in the Book of Acts
• Is Jesus making a Difference in your Life?
• Effective Parenting by God’s Grace
• Why do we Believe what we Believe?

Men’s Ministry: Band of Brothers
Men. Is there something missing in your life? Are you
struggling with life’s issues and not having the success you
would like? Are you confident in your ability to handle the
family issues that come up? Are your friends men who honor
God with their words and deeds?
We have over 300 men who are dealing with these issues in
our Band of Brothers meeting each Wednesday evening from 6:25 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
in the Worship Center. This is a time of worship, study, discussion, and fellowship
to learn how to apply God’s Word in every area of our lives….our families, our jobs,
and our friendships. We focus on application. Every man leaves each week with
immediate action items. In the process, you will have the opportunity to meet and
grow in Christian fellowship with like-minded men who desire to walk more closely
with Jesus.
April 7 Teacher: Greg Davidson
Subject: The Battle for Godliness
April 14 Teacher: Pastor Hayes Wicker
Subject: Becoming a Leader Like Our Commander
Try us out this Wednesday in the Worship Center at 6:25 p.m.
Please join us in our EnricHer series beginning next week. You will have the opportunity

marriage, parenting, spiritual gifts, or deeper Bible study.
Tuesday, April 6th at 9:00 a.m. or Wednesday, April 7th at 6:30 p.m.
It is truly a joy to serve in a ministry that is changing and enriching the lives of women
as they discover their true purpose and significance through a vibrant relationship
with Jesus Christ.

Youth Ministries
The statistics are staggering. Somewhere
between 70-85% of teenagers leave the
church following high school graduation.
This is unacceptable.
This is why High School and Middle School
Ministry is critically needed in the lives of
our teenagers. In these ministries, we desire
to come alongside the parents, bringing
your teenager to a point of understanding
faith before graduating high school. We
want them to have a foundation that is built on Christ, where they will learn how to
stand on their own two feet before they walk on the soil of that extremely challenging
college campus. I want to strongly encourage you to bring your students to the High
School and Middle School Ministry. We have over 500 students involved, with over
30 adults investing in the lives of these students. Please check us out, or contact us
with questions.

Each week at KidzTown Worship, our children in 1st through 4th grades have the
opportunity to worship the Lord “Kid Style”. We have a great time studying His Word,
singing His praises, and seeking His will. With puppetry, skits, and games, the lessons
learned each day are enforced. Your child will not want to miss a single week of
KidzTown Worship which meets Saturday at 6:00 p.m. or Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in DC120.
Afterwards, your child will be led to the “KidzTown Neighborhood” where they will
further learn God’s Word and experience the love of God in a relational and secure
small group atmosphere.
Each Wednesday during the school year at 6:20 p.m., your child has the opportunity
to participate in one of the most dynamic ministries to children…KidzTown Awana.
Children in Awana memorize God’s Word, play exciting games, and experience
creative worship. It is a great way to learn more about Jesus and a fun night to make
more friends.
Don’t forget to register your child early for this year’s Vacation Bible School. Check
it out at www.fbcn.org/vbs. You will not want to miss out on this year’s High Seas
Expedition!!!
Fully accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International and the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, our college preparatory program is
highly successful in preparing students not only for college but for life. We welcome
the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the possibility of assisting you in the
education of your child. First Baptist Academy is not just a school, it is a community
dedicated to both engaging and impacting our culture. For
more information call 597-2233 or attend our next
Open House on Thursday, April 15th in our Commons.
