Where can I get more information?
We are often asked why more information doesn't come to parents. We send quite a bit out, but we are trying to get more info into parent's hands. Check "The Herald" watch for mailouts, check the web page (www.fayettevillefbc.org) and follow the youth links. Also talk to your kids, they are getting info every Wednesday and Sunday.
How can I get involved?
Parents are always welcomed, we love to have them join us on Wednesday nights. We are also always looking for Bible study teachers and group leaders in various programs. Our third Wednesday night fellowships take a lot of work and they can always use more help. Rhonda English heads those up and would love to have your assistance.
How about chaperones?
We have quite a few activities that require chaperones, summer camp, winter retreat, Youth Evangelism Conference, day trips and many mission projects. We can't do these activities without the adults and always are excited to have new people join us. We know that to join us on a trip usually means taking time away from work and many other adjustments to your schedule. So as often as possible we try to provide for our chaperones to participate without paying the cost of the event. If you are interested in chaperoning an upcoming youth event please email me.

Are guests welcomed on trips and activities?
Almost always, there may be a few times that the nature of an event restricts participants but that is not the norm.
Where do our youth sign up for events?
Youth may sign up up in the youth rooms. Sign up sheets are usually located on the kiosk in "The Chapel", in the window leading to the youth area and in the old fellowship hall. Some events will have sign up sheets that are mailed to the homes and for many you can sign up at Fayettevillefbc.org.
Why don't our youth do fund raisers and help with some of these costs?
While we are never opposed to hard work or earning your way, we unashamedly consider this work ministry. The model of the New Testament Church is clearly that ministry is funded by The Church and the people who participate in that ministry. Therefore we don't ask the world for funding or offer The Church products for their gifts. We have been blessed with many in our family who joyfully offer help when others need it, and we have worked to find ways for individuals to earn what they need and will continue to do so. We hope finances never stop anyone from participating in this ministry.
