The mission of Harvest Bible Church is to reach the lost, strengthen the weak, and encourage the faithful unto godliness through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and according to their Spirit-given gifts to the glory of God throughout New England. Visit them online at harvestbiblechurch.org.

Men are transformed when they engage and apply the truth of God in the context of healthy relationships. Left alone we will drift; together we will grow stronger.

In order to reach our full potential as Christ followers, husbands, fathers, and leaders, we need other men in our lives who will sharpen us to become more like Jesus. Our goal is to see men learn to grow (from where we are to where we should be by God’s Word), learn to lead (at home, at work, at church), and learn to serve.

DISCIPLESHIP, CONNECTION, and SERVICE are our three main efforts. We are also engaged in Special Events, Conferences, Sunday School Classes and Small Groups. Check back often as we continue to update and refine this vital ministry.

Men's Bible Study

• Every Wednesday Morning 6:30 am - 7:30 am.  

Our next discussion is scheduled for February 13, 2024

Questions for Mission Roundtable Discussion:

• Do these dates work for you?
• Are you willing to own a trip? (See definition below).
• What can in-house mile markers be throughout the year? (see definition below of “in-house mile markers).
• Do you want to be on the Holding the Rope team for the Rwanda mission?
• What are ways we can practically hold the rope for the Rwanda team?

Definitions:

• Summer Training Trips AKA Short-Term Mission Trips. Sometimes, the adjective “short-term” comes with implications. Short-term correctly communicates the duration of the trip, but it can fail to capture the deeper goals. Therefore, we hope this name change to Summer Training Trips captures the larger goal of these trips.
• Own a Trip. An owner of a trip would be responsible for coordination and communication of the trip, coming alongside students in regards to our in-house mile markers, and chaperoning trip for the first year. Ideally, an owner would own a trip for at least 2 years knowing that efficiency and effectiveness will increase after first time.
• In House Mile Markers. Sometimes students go on mission trips with little or no preparation beyond securing money and signing release forms. FCBC desires to equip them before we send them. What are activities students can do throughout the year that can serve as mile markers for their participation in the trip? Should we require mile markers to be fulfilled in order to participate on trip?
• Holding the Rope Team - William Carey famously said that he would “go down into the mine (go to India) if his close friend, Andrew Fuller, would “hold the rope.” As a Faith Family, we want to support the Rwanda team in a manner worthy of the Lord (3 John 6-7). A Rope Holder Team is an advocacy team formed for a dual focus. Towards the sent ones, the RHT is formed to pray for, keep up with, and encourage and strengthen the sent team. Towards our Faith Family, the RHT is formed to represent the ministry to the church, foster prayer, and visibility of the sent team to the body. We are looking for no more than 8 people on Rope Holding Team with one leader to coordinate team’s ministry.

7th-8th Grade – FAMMA-JAMMA SUMMERAMA @ FCBC

• Purpose: Reaching the Nations starts at Home. In other words, to see our kids grow up with a heart for reaching the nations starts with cultivating their hearts for the Lord and the lost here. To put it in a more memorable way: We are HERE so that others one day may HEAR. Famma-Jamma-Summerama exists to (1) expose young people to God’s heart for the lost in the world, (2) encourage young people in the Word of God, and (3) to equip Jr. High students to participate in ministry.

• Cost: Free
• Dates: June 26-28, 2024
• IN HOUSE Mile Markers ideas….
  • Run games at YG with a friend
  • Give update on Missionary Kid at YG

Teacher: Dennis Lommen and Dan HeHart

God owns everything. We are his stewards. So this class will look at the things God's given us--our money, health, time, skills--and see God's purpose for them. We'll look to Scripture to see why he gave them to us, how we're to use them, and the dangers to avoid.

We believe Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary, who conceived of the Holy Ghost, and that which was born of her was the Son of God, making Christ both God and man.

(Matthew 1:18-23)

We believe in partaking of the Lord’s Supper as a loving memorial of the One who died and gave Himself for us. And as often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, do it in remembrance of Him.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells the believer, and divides severally to whom He will the gifts of the Spirit, and that the believer is to bear the fruit of the Spirit.

"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.  

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

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.
