FUGE Camps - July 14th - 18th, 2025. We plan to send our Youth to FUGE camps in Viriginia Beach, Va.  We have FBC t-shirts if you'd like to make a donation to help support our Youth and send them to a camp which will radically impact their lives with the Gospel. There are envelopes in the pews or if you choose to use your own envelopes, please designate FUGE on them and be sure to put your name on the envelope for giving records.
