"No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here." FCCB is a church on a journey of faith, growing in diversity and understanding of Jesus' example. Worship As an energetic and dynamic faith community, worship creates a sanctuary for us to rejoice and give thanks for the goodness of God and God's gifts. Worship brings us together to grow in our understanding of Jesus' teaching and example, to refresh our faith, to nurture hope and to experience love. Worship can be: · Exciting --- Peaceful · Vibrant --- Healing · Challenging --- Accepting · Questioning --- Fulfilling Community We joyfully invite individuals of all ages into a faith community that recognizes God's grace, honors our heritages, nurtures our families and embraces our diversity. In our community we encourage questioning and respectful discussion as we search for God's truth. Through our community we enable individuals to turn their talents toward joining with one another in the work of Jesus. Spiritual Growth We are an inclusive community committed to active listening for God's word in our midst. Our vision is to uniquely nurture every person in their spiritual growth. We seek to do this -- · Intellectually · Emotionally, and · Experientially -- in ways that lead to healing, wholeness, action, joy and connection to God. Social Justice We are an inspiring leader in the community advocating for Jesus' teachings of justice, compassion and mercy. Using our abundant resources, we are a catalyst for education, dialogue and individual and collective action.
