Welcome aboard! Flight Ministry supports collegiate students in their faith journey in God. It’s here to assist collegians fix their faith in Christ, grow in Christian community, and influence the world as Jesus did.
Thanks for coming on board. You’ll find here a description of the places collegians can be involved in or attend. Some occur on-site at FCBC, others occur elsewhere. Each area exists to help collegians in their spiritual journey in Jesus Christ.
PASSAGE
Traditionally known as Sunday School, Passage is the weekly gathering on Sunday mornings to examine and discover truths and application from the Bible.
HUB
HUB is where collegians gather to check-in and catch-up. Since many collegians are dispersed to various schools, HUB gathers students together to reconnect through outings and events. It’s a large group time that meets at various times throughout the year on significant days (such as holiday weekends). HUB captures the annual Winter Retreat held between Christmas and New Year’s.
“We come to you.” Annex brings the church to university campuses. A small group of individuals visits universities and brings concern, encouragement and prayer. The small group meets 1-on-1 with students then gathers everyone together for a meal and fun. For those who don’t visit home often, the visits keep the students connected with the church.
Annex:COMMUTERS
Similar to the evening gathering of Annex, Commuters gathers the students at local colleges for dinner and fun.
COACH
Coach pairs mentors with students to advance spiritual growth, study the basic tenets of the Christian faith and supply prayer. For students wanting, or needing, a discipler, Coach assists in making the right match. Gals are paired with gals, guys with guys.
CONNECTIONS
College life can be difficult and challenging. Through 1-on-1 meet ups, Connections bridges students with church adults and young adults to walk through the student’s college life together. These meet ups are meant as check-ins to offer any spiritual support, life guidance, and prayer. We also remind students about upcoming church events to continue faithful connections back at home.
CUSTOMS
We are directed by Jesus to bring truth, healing, and help to our world. Customs covers the missional aspect of Flight. Customs currently organizes annual projects in the spring and summer and supports collegians partnered with other organizations.
LIFT OFF!
Lift Off! simply encourages participants to pray. Over 10 days, we will be presenting 10 prayer requests that we ask you to pray over for 10 (solid) minutes. Lift Off! presents 10 areas of prayer that may include specific people, ministries, or aspects of growth. It is meant to be a blast of encouragement and intercession by a committed group of people over the course of 10 days. Keep an eye out, the countdown begins soon…
AIRMAIL
Through simple, postal materials, Airmail connects distant (especially out-of-state) students by providing printed materials and packages. Available throughout the year, the pre-paid postage paraphernalia can be used to easily write a personal message to another student no matter the distance. Look for different materials throughout the year designed by our very own students!
(If you are interested in designing such materials, notify Flight ministry!)
