How Faith Prepared Me: “Attending FBBC was helpful in preparing me for life. It helped build on and solidify my Biblical and Theological foundation, while helping me see the importance of serving alongside others in the local church. Currently my family and I are members at Holmes Baptist Church, outside of Clarion, Iowa, where we are involved in several areas of ministry. I also made many great friendships while attending FBBC. These friends have continued to challenge me, and I am very grateful for ways they have invested in my life for eternity. ”
