I could speak at length about what I appreciated in my time at FBBC. The Lord used FBBC to both spark and stoke a desire for Christian service. This largely came from watching the servant-hearted example of those who are in leadership. I now find myself in ministry at a church and school that I love and I feel that FBBC was crucial to my preparation both academically and spiritually. I can confidently recommend FBBC because the Lord used the godly men and women who serve there to point me to Christ and to equip me to do so for others. I am grateful.
