Welcome Back Spartans – University of Tampa Students meet here!

University of Tampa Students Meet Here

Welcome University of Tampa Students to First Baptist Church of Tampa – www.fbctampa.org! We are the church right across the street, and we want to help you have a really rich time in our city.

First thing, we want to introduce you to Katelyn Brown.

Katelyn is one our members, and a recent U.T. Graduate. And she just happens to serve also as the BCM campus ministry director at U.T.

Email Katelyn here | (813) 239-6906 | Facebook here.

She can be a huge help and a real friend whether you want to talk about Christianity for the first time, or whether you have been a Christian your whole life – and everyone in between. For us, it’s all about building community around the things that build each other up. And for us, that’s first and foremost Jesus.

Second, it’s hanging out, eating food and having fun together.

There are a number of opportunities like that here on FBC’s property and on the U.T. campus. You can show up, or contact Katelyn ahead of time. Either way, we are looking forward to meeting you soon.

  • Sunday Morning Worship Services at 10:45 a.m.
    While our front entrance on Kennedy is a great way to come into our main worship center, most folks enter through our Garden Entrance (pictured here). If you come in through this entrance you can come up to our Connection Desk and get one of our Welcome Packets before you head into the worship center for service.


  • Sunday Morning Young Professionals Core Group at 9:30 a.m.
    For any of you Early Birds, we have a Sunday Morning Core Group called Young Professionals. They meet before our worship service at 9:30 a.m. in the LifeTree Cafe. This is not our college-only group (which meets after service), but if you want to connect with these guys and girls, they would love to have you. Head toward the Garden Entrance pictured above, and come through the sliding glass doors that lead into our dining room. That is where LifeTree is also.


  • Sunday Stay-for-Lunch Bible Study Core Group immediately after service (around 12:20 p.m.)
    Whether you stick around after service or you are coming just for our Sunday afternoon Bible study core group, you are welcome to “stay-for-lunch” with Katelyn Brown, Bill Lang and a bunch of our college students. Head toward the Garden Entrance pictured above, and come through the sliding glass doors that lead into our dining room.


  • Tuesday Night Bible Study at FBC at 7:00 p.m.
    Starting Tuesday, August, 29, 2017 – Come across the street on Tuesday nights at 7:00 p.m. for a casual bible study in our LifeTree Cafe with Katelyn, other students and our Senior Pastor Bob Block. We will also have food for this study because we know students have to eat! Head toward the Garden Entrance pictured above, and come through the sliding glass doors that lead into our dining room.


  • Thursday Night BCM Study on Campus at 7:30 p.m.
    Starting Thursday August, 31, 2017 – Join Katelyn upstairs in the Vaugh Center on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. This group is forming now, and it may meet in different locations from week to week, so be sure to contact Katelyn ahead of time. Get involved.
