OUR
MINISTRIES
We are committed to reaching as many people as we can with the love of Jesus.
We regularly take part in these ministries and offer them to you and your family.
​
Kid's Ministry
On Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00 during the school year, we offer AWANA Clubs (this includes Bible lessons, games, and Bible memorization) for kids ages 3 to 6th grade. We also have youth group for 7-12th graders on Wednesday nights.
​
Sunday School is available for children of all ages on Sunday mornings.
​
During the summer we hold a Vacation Bible School. We also have kids Bible Club on Wednesday nights during the summer.
Missions
We Support Missionaries individually as well as through cooperative programs of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia (SBCV).
​
We also send out groups from our church on short-term mission trips to partner with established church ministries and church planting projects. These pictures are from our latest trips.
In the top picture, Eddie McDonald led an evangelism outreach to the Amazon in Brazil. We were privileged to partner with Joel Johnson and Wordless Ministries (notice our cool “Wordless Soccer Ball”!) and missionaries Brad and Melissa Miller.
​
In the bottom picture, Pastor Sam went to India to visit one of the missionaries we support, Pastor Roy Mortha. Sam had opportunities to preach in local villages and train local pastors. He and the team also helped to start AWANA Clubs there.
FSBC’s global mission trips, we have been blessed to partner with other doctrinally sound churches as we proclaim the gospel and Jesus Christ. Join us as we make Christ known around the world!
Community Outreach
Our church reaches out to the immediate communities of Hurt and Altavista, and what a blessing it is!
We invite kids from the community for our annual Easter egg hunt in the spring. In the summer months, we set up a gigantic slip and slide and grill out, or have a family movie night with ice cream and all the fixings. In the fall we hold our annual (and larger-than-life) Harvest Festival, complete with hay rides, stew, hot dogs, face painting, and lots more. At Christmas we collect gifts for children in need while also delivering presents to folks in the nursing home as we carol.
Come increase your joy as we bless our community with the love of Jesus!
Men's & Women's Ministry
We are glad to invest in the men of our church and community.
​
Every Saturday men of the church get together and pray.
​
Ladies are invited to join one of our Lady's Bible studies taught by gifted women in our church. Our goal is that you would be equipped to disciple others as you grow together as sisters, study, and worship!

Discipleship
The Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19-20 is not given to a select few but to everyone! Disciples of Jesus make disciples of Jesus.
Discipleship is a lifestyle. From the local coffee shop or the workplace break room to the neighborhood block party or family vacation, discipleship opportunities abound!
FSBC is committed to teaching and encouraging discipleship at every level. Join us as we baptize and teach disciples of Jesus everything He commanded!
Volunteer Groups
Our church also ministers both collectively and individually as we partner with various community service projects or parachurch organizations. Whether it’s our local community trash pick-up day, serving meals, or packing shoe boxes for Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation at Christmas, we want to be the servant leaders Jesus has called us to be.
You don’t want to miss these opportunities to impact our community and the world!
