Press on to know the Lord!

FBC Brandon exists to worship God and enjoy His presence, to bring all persons into a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ and His gospel, to support and care for one another and to train and equip believers to use their gifts for service in God's work.


 

The JOY Fellowship ("just older youth") meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday afternoons for Bible Study, singing and fellowship. A variety of topics and books of the Bible are reviewed and discussed.

Baca Groups include a Sunday evening group and a Tuesday evening group. Both groups meet at the church.

The name Baca comes from Psalm 84: 5-7 which reads. "How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring. The early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion."

The valley of Baca, or valley of weeping, is a description of a valley that God's followers pass through on their life journey, as they go towards Zion, or final meeting place with God. As we pass through "valleys" in life we can experience challenges, difficult pathways, danger, fear, sadness, fatigue, etc. Life holds challenges for each of us. But as God's followers travel through the valley together they gain strength from one another. They encourage and build up one another in Christ's love and salvation. There is hope and help as they travel the journey. And as they go they rejoice and talk about God's great riches and gifts to each of us.

Our Baca groups are to be a place for God's followers to meet together. To share trials, challenges, joys, accomplishments, hurts, etc. with each other and to bring these things to God through prayer. It is also a place to study God's word and gain understanding and guidance to get through the "valleys". It is of great comfort, encouragement and joy to "travel" together with other believers through the valleys and also along the mountaintops. Join a Baca group and experience God's teachings and learn more about others who walk the valley with you.
