Programs

The Gathering is our campus ministry program, which has been active in Ann Arbor for over 100 years.   Each Wednesday evening starting at 5:30, college students are invited to our Campus Center (adjacent to the church building) for a home-cooked meal and study with discussion.

Sextons are college students who work around the church building and Campus Center in return for their housing for the academic year.

FBC Youth
Brandy Kirchner is our Director of Youth and leads our Youth activities for students in 4th grade through High School.  Some activites include all Youth and others are divided by age.  The Youth meet on the last Sunday of each month at 11:30 - 12:30 for Youth Worship.   At least once a month the Youth have another activity with a social and/or mission focus.  The Youth raise money each year for our Sister Church, school and farm in Nicaragua and also serve the Vespers ministry of FBC.
