We’re glad you are thinking of visiting FBCA. The information below will give you an idea about our church and will let you know what to expect from your visit.
Fellowship Arapaho is a non-denominational church, and, in many respects, we’re not like other churches. We try to follow the teachings of the Bible in ways that match the time and place in which we live. Our music and teaching styles are contemporary. We don’t follow a liturgy or many traditions. Our atmosphere is casual and friendly. Come as you are; Be yourself. We gather to love each other, to celebrate God, and to learn how He wants us to live our lives. Feel free to read more about our church’s commitments, values, and beliefs to learn more about what FBCA believes.
There is visitor parking located on the south side of the church, facing Arapaho Rd. If that side of the lot is full, there is more parking on the east side of the worship center and a large parking lot on the back side, as well.
Upon entering the worship center, you will be greeted by a member of our Greeters committee. Please tell them you are visiting! They love helping newcomers to feel more comfortable and welcome. As you walk into the middle of the room, you can fill out a name tag so others can call you by name. (This is something we ask everyone to do — even those who have attended the church for fifteen years. It helps us to know one another on a more personal level.)
Before entering the auditorium, please help yourself to a free cup of coffee or tea in the lobby. Yes, you can bring it with you into the service!
Worship is a celebration time when we thank God and honor Him. Our worship time usually consists of about 35 minutes of music and activities followed by about 35 minutes of teaching from the Bible. Children are invited to join their parents for the first part of the service, and are dismissed to the Kids’ Center for their own program at about 10:30 am. Click here for more info about kids’ activities. While children are welcome to stick around for the message, it is primarily designed for adults. At 11:15, we take a short coffee break, and then join together again for Encore at 11:30. Encore is a unique worship experience—something different every week. Click here for more info about Encore.
As a part of our worship, we collect contributions for our ministry. We don’t want you, as our guests, to feel obligated to give. We’re simply honored to worship with you, and we hope that the time you spend at our church encourages you and enriches your spiritual journey.
During the service, you can fill out a Response Card, which is located in a pocket in the back of the seats in the auditorium. By letting us know you have visited, we can invite you to our monthly lunch for anyone who is visiting or new to our church.
We have wonderful children’s and student programs designed to specially meet the needs of each age group. Nursery care is provided in the Worship Center building, children (4yrs through 4th grade) meet in the Kids’ Center, 5th and 6th graders meet in the Fellowship House, and junior and senior high school students meet in the Student Center (see campus map).
