Children in Church


At FBC children play a very important role. The children are encouraged to use the talents that the LORD has given to them, even at a very young age.

We are profusely blessed with exceptional teachers who devote much time, effort and prayer in providing meaningful lessons in Sunday School (10:00 a.m.), and in Children's Church (11:00 a.m.). At FBC the children are the greatest, and so are their teachers. We are a church which takes the children's ministry seriously.

Shown here are Esil and Caleb Empig singing a special number before the Pastor's Message, to the delight of the whole congregation. Personally, anytime children sing during the Worship Service makes the service even more meaningful to me.

February 25: Scripture Reading


Ansel Vibat was named after the famous American photographer Ansel Adams. Both were born in San Francisco. Ansel is actively involved in the church youth group, and enjoys attending Bible studies. Here he is reading a Scripture passage during the Worship service.

Ansel is very gifted, and has been selected to attend the chartered Leadership High School in San Francisco. He loves music and plays the piano; loves video games, like any normal youth; and being a true San Fran supporter, roots for the San Francisco 49'ers.

February 16 Night of Repentance


Last Friday was a very moving experience as the church humbled itself in a Night of Repentance. This was in accordance to Acts 3:19 (NIV): "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out." The hand of the LORD was mightily felt throughout the entire service.
