WHAT DO WE DO?
 

It all started back in the day when you were a young child you have had a craving in your heart for something more. When you were a little baby you wanted freedom so you tried to climb out of the play pin. in elementary school you start writing notes asking that special girl/guy to be your boyfriend because you really think she's pretty but more than that, you want a relationship because you have a craving for love. Go to any bookstore in the religion section and notice how many books there are on the shelves about different religions...why so many?

Something inside of us urges us to look for something bigger than ourselves, so we search for truth. Our world encourages all of us, especially students, to try to find fulfillment in world things but the Bible gives us that answer to what it is that we need to bring us happiness and to complete us.

    "The thief comes only to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come so that you
    may have life. Life to the full." (John 10:10)

That something we crave is a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ.

 
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW!!!
During the summer months we take a little break from Wednesday Night CRAVE so that our adult leaders can spend time with their families and get re-inergized for when we start back up. Check out our page of announcements for more information about summer time activites.....there are a lot.
 

 MS / HS SUNDAY SCHOOL 
Sunday School is a chance to gain knowlege of the Bible and some life application... It's a time to explore the Bible, learn what's in it, and find the truths that apply to our lives... It's also a great chance to get to know other students and see what they think about God, the Bible, and life ...

Middle School & High School meet for a time of fellowship in the Student Ministry Cafe located in the FCCC Fellowship Hall @ 10:30 each Sunday morning... There's donuts, snacks, and cokes for sale ... Air hockey, Ping Pong, P ool, and Foosball tables are open during this time... After a short time of student fellowship we split into our Bible Classes ... Middle School goes to the Basement while the H.S. guys and H.S. girls classes head upstairs (rooms 206 & 208) to explore the Bible... (Most students attend the worship service @ 9:15am in the sanctuary then come to SS)
