What to Expect

When visiting FBCA expect to feel welcome. Our church began in 1905 and has seen many changes, but the message from 1905 is still the same message today. We are a multi-generational church and strive to provide opportunities for all ages. The Worship Center has seats, not pews and we have a band complete with drums & guitars. We sing the latest contemporary songs, and also some of your favorite hymns. Some wear jeans, others wear suits, most dress casual.
