Reviveschool
ReviveSCHOOL is a two-year program of Biblical Studies courses that teaches through the Bible daily, from Genesis to Revelation. Teaching and study are focused on seeing the Complete Portrait of the Messiah as depicted in all 66 books of the Bible. Based on the example in Acts 19, where Paul lectured in the Hall of Tyrannus daily for two years and all of Asia heard the message of the Lord, the ultimate goal of reviveSCHOOL is for communities to be transformed by the Word of God.
Dates: Begins on January 1st, 2024 and lasts for 2 years
When: Meets every 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Revive Elkhart
Each Tuesday evening, a group of believers gathers in downtown Elkhart to reach out and love on individuals and families in our community. Using the Revive model, teams head out to engage in conversations with people we encounter. Our goal is to show love, listen, discern, and respond with the hope-giving message of the gospel if God gives an opportunity. This outreach opportunity is open to anyone!
For questions, contact Michael Cataldo.
Deaf Ministry
This ministry ensures that an interpreter for the deaf is available during our second service each week (11:00 am). It's a huge blessing to have the lyrics to our worship songs and weekly sermon interpreted for those in our congregation who are deaf or hard of hearing.
WOODLAND TRAILS summer PREDICTION RUNS
Located on FBC’s Woodland Trails, the Summer Prediction Runs include weekly 3K and 5K races on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm. Runners predict the time they believe it will take them to complete either the 3K or 5K race, and the winners are determined by how close participants come to their predicted time! Check back here next summer for more information!
