Students

	Why the Underground?
	Many years ago (and still today, in certain parts of the world) the culture of society was such that it forced Christians to meet in secret places (many times in catacombs beneath the city). The alternative was severe persecution, ending in death or denial of faith in Jesus Christ. In essence, the early Christians chose isolation, fear, discomfort, and the possibility of death rather than denying faith in Jesus Christ… they chose to go "underground" rather than compromise their faith to mainstream worldviews. It is our prayer at FBC that our students will grow into an uncompromising faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The purpose of the Underground is to help students PURSUE a growing, uncompromising, and contagious relationship with a God that loves them (love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind) and REVEAL that relationship through visible faith (love your neighbor as yourself). Matthew 22:36-39 (NLT) "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, " 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
	A message from Tim… Hey and welcome to our home on the web… thanks for stopping by! At FBC, we know that students won't just be leaders tomorrow, they're leaders today. We have an active student ministry, taking several trips each year and having activities almost every month. We also meet every week for relevant Bible study, to have fun, and to cultivate lasting friendships. If you'd like to "plug in" to the Underground, feel free to join us at any of the scheduled activities (you can find them listed on the "Middle School" and "High School" tabs). If you have questions about our student ministry, our church, or an activity, or if you would like to sign-up for our informative (almost weekly) e-mail newsletter, please feel free to give me a call or just send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you. Keep smiling, and have a great day! -Tim
