Michael Foose
Family Pastor
Pastor Michael and Shelby Foose joined in the work God is doing at Faith Community Bible Church in August 2021. Michael and Shelby met at Liberty University, where Michael received both his undergraduate (2015) and Masters of Divinity (2018) degrees.
In 2016, Michael and Shelby married and moved to Michael’s hometown in Lancaster, PA and served in the church he grew up in. Michael and Shelby have one son. As a family, they enjoy spending their free time in God’s creation.
The Fooses deeply appreciate that discipleship is the focus and mission of FCBC. Michael is passionate about helping people take the next step in their walk with Jesus.
Mission
FCBC Youth Group exists to proclaim the Gospel and make disciple-making disciples.

Decision Making in Light of God's Will
Leader: Dareld Trinka
Have you ever struggled with a tough decision; one which will define the course of your life? Perhaps you see two options, how do you know which option God wants you to choose? Surely if you choose the correct option (the one God wants) it will lead to hope and joy, but the other will certainly lead to despair and ruin.
We all struggle with decision making. Some of these are trivial; like butter pecan or chocolate double caramel delight ice cream? While others define your life; like who will you marry and whether you pursue college, a trade, for family?
The class will be interactive and practical. We’ll remove the mystery and uncover the Biblical model for decision making. To make a decision do we need a sign from God or has he provided something else? What is motivating the decision? How do we weigh the options? How do we know if God will be pleased by our choice?
Sunday Mornings
Needed Resources: The Bible and “Just do something. A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will” by Kevin DeYoung.
Homework: Less than an hour per week.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:16-20

Great Commission
We the Church have been sent by Jesus to the task of the Great Commission. This mission is for everyone in the church, not just the missionaries. Making disciples – that’s our task. No one is excluded. There are no spectators.
So, everyone has a mission and our missions program is aimed at outreaching with our mission to those outside this local church. Our missions program puts emphasis on reaching the least reached peoples of this world especially through church planting.
We as a church seek to learn about and pray for missions. We seek to go and send people to the mission field. We seek to welcome people from other people’s around the world and mobilize our own to be going.
Membership Matters
Leader: Don George
Are you interested in becoming a member of our church? Are you interested in learning more about church membership? This class will review the biblical precedent for church membership. We will have discussions throughout the class.
Sunday Mornings
Homework: weekly
Prayer Workshop
While there is far more to developing a rich prayer life than can be covered in five weeks, we hope to deepen your dialog with God. Each week we will look at a biblical text, reflect, and respond in prayer. After all, it is of little value to read and reflect on prayer without actually praying! To prime the pump for this workshop, we encourage you to read a book from the suggested list, in the link below, before Jan. 8th.
Regardless of what you do or do not do by way of preparation, we believe all will be able to glean from this workshop on prayer.

Sunday Nights 6-8 pm
ABOUT US
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
- Romans 12:4-5

Christmas Offering
This year, we would like to start a new Faith Family Tradition–A Missions Christmas Offering. This year Haiti has been hit hard on multiple fronts. Out of the unrest and suffering, people are looking for hope. Many are finding their way to Vision Church with Pastor Rosinel. Would you partner with us by investing in a roof for Vision Church with the goal of impacting Haiti with the only hope–the gospel of Jesus Christ?
The Christmas Offering will be collected in person on Sunday, Dec. 4. You can give in person or online through the end of December. Please earmark it: Christmas Offering

Welcome
Here at Faith Community Bible Church, we love having guests. Whether you’ve grown up in church all your life, or have never been to church before, we hope that FCBC will be a warm and welcoming place for you, where you are engaged with the truth of God’s Word and the love of God’s people.
Every Christ-follower a disciple,
Every mature Christ-follower
a disciple maker.
Thank you for your interest in Faith Community Bible Church. We know that trying a new church for the first time can be a little uncomfortable. Many faces and activities that are unfamiliar. At FCBC, we want you to feel at home as one of our guests, because at some point we were all guests! We want you to learn about our church and get connected in a way that makes sense for you.

Here are some questions you may have when visiting.
What entrance do I use?
Our main entrance is on the right as you look at the building from the parking lot, under the awning. Our greeters look forward to meeting you.
Do you have a nursery?
We love children! Our nursery provides a safe and caring place for children ages three and under during our Sunday School hour, 8:30 am to 9:30 am, and the morning worship services at 10:00 am.
What is the preaching and music like at FCBC?
The message from the pulpit is always God-honoring, scripture-based, and delivered by men in service to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
At our worship services you will find a mix of traditional hymns and Christ-centered praise music.
What are the ages of those attending FCBC?
At our service you will see a mix of people in all seasons of life. Seniors, young adults, teens, and families with children all worshiping together.
What do the people of FCBC wear?
Our church family dresses casual to formal.
How does FCBC practice the Lord's Table?
Our Communion Service is held on the first Sunday of each month. During Communion, you will have an opportunity to remember what Christ has done on the cross through the symbolism of the bread and the cup. Our Elders and Deacons serve the bread and the cup to the congregation. Upon receiving the elements, please wait to take them until our pastor leads us to take them corporately.
What do you have available for children and youth?
- At our morning worship service, children age three through fifth grade are dismissed after worship to attend our Children's Ministry, Bible Explorers. First time attendees, please escort your child to class and introduce yourself.
- September - June we offer Sunday School classes for children through Grade 12 at 8:30 am.
- In addition to Sunday morning, there is a Sunday evening gathering for youth ages 11 to 18 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
A great way to get connected is through our Guest Luncheon.
