UPDATE: I stand by my review, despite the response. Though some may view my review as an attack, I wrote this review to let others about my experiences at FBC. Had the leadership practiced what they wrote below when we attended, we probably would still be there. Unfortunately, despite being members for a long time, we did not feel welcome anymore, so we left. (I would point out that, if you are having trouble attracting people, you need to look at the culture, teachers and leadership of the church and you will find your answer). As most people know, just like jobs, people leave bad managers. When we found our new church home, I had to unlearn lessons I had been taught while at this place. For example, you do not have to be baptized to go to heaven. Baptism is a public proclamation of faith. Our current church has instilled in us that you stand by what the Bible teaches, even when it doesn't conform to the whims of society. All Jesus followers must view the culture through the lens of the Bible, and not the other way round. I saw the recent news article, which reminded me of this "church". I grew up going to "church" here. I use quotes because it became apparent they were not Bible based. This is a political club, masquerading as a church. There is a reason they hemmorage members and are unable to attract new people. We go elsewhere now, and are much happier being in a church that teaches Biblical principles and lessons. Side note: I remember when they were thinking of building that parking garage. It was a waste of money then and my opinion still stands. Look elsewhere for a church that will teach you about God. This is not the place.
