ADULT BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS

The Adult Bible Fellowships at Faith Bible Church seek to create opportunities for deep connection and authentic relationships with others because of our belief is that building genuine, Christ-centered community is one of the key factors in the sanctification of all believers. We encourage all who attend Faith Bible Church to get connected in one of our Adult Bible Fellowships.

We encourage all who attend Faith Bible Church to get connected in one of our Adult Bible Fellowships.

ABFs at Faith Bible Church are designed to achieve four main objectives:

• Connection with One Another
• Member Care
• Outreach/Mission
• Biblical teaching

When visiting an “ABF”, you can expect to hear biblical teaching, see Christ-centered community, and experience ABF members caring for one another. You will be able to meet and get to know a wide variety of people in an hospitable environment and fun atmosphere.

ABFs are also encouraged to spend time together outside of the church’s walls, and many groups share meals together on a regular basis, serve the church and the world together, and focus on pursuing Christ with each other both within the church and in their homes.

To get involved in an Adult Bible Fellowship, we invite you to come by Faith Bible Church’s Welcome Center to get more information on the various ABFs in the church. There are a wide variety of ABFs on Sunday mornings at both 9:45 a.m. or 11:00 a.m., and groups range in size from 15 to 75 people. Each Sunday morning ABF meets in an adult classroom within Faith Bible Church and a few meet in homes near the campus on Sunday evenings. Additionally, some ABFs are multi-generational, while others are focused on a certain stage of life.

If you have any questions about our Adult Bible Fellowships, please contact Seth Brown, Pastor of Adult Connections, at 340-1000 or seth.brown@faithbibleok.com.
