We’re excited to introduce a new Church Family Business & Professional Directory designed to support & connect our church family. This directory will serve as a resource for finding trusted services within our congregation while supporting the businesses and professions of our members.

If you own a business, are self-employed, or offer professional services and would like to be included, we invite you to submit your information using the link below.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12bgcoMHid4C7ZfnJjiPnKexlNP8Y86bS7-6AWPb_uT0/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=111872035001616222703

Participation is completely optional, and inclusion in the directory does not imply endorsement by the church. This directory is simply a community resource made available to help serve and support our church family.
Once compiled, the directory will be shared with the congregation as a helpful resource.

Taking Down Christmas Decorations with lunch provided
2026-01-06 09:30 - 11:30
As we transition into the Christmas season, we’re preparing to take down all of the Christmas decorations and could use some helping hands!
We especially need help with some heavier lifting, so men are particularly encouraged to join us – but truly, everyone is welcome and appreciated. Many hands will make the work lighter and the morning more joyful.

Lunch will be provided for all who help, and we’d love to make sure we have enough food for everyone. If you are able to come, please email Lauren at lauren@fbctampa.org so we can get a headcount for lunch.

Thank you so much for serving our church family in this practical way. Your willingness to help truly makes a difference.
