## 5 Ways to Get Connected at First Baptist Church of Fenton
One of the most common things people say about First Baptist Church of Fenton is how warm and welcoming it is. But showing up on a Sunday is just the beginning. True community — the kind that carries you through hard seasons and celebrates the good ones — happens when you take a step deeper.
Here are five simple, practical ways to move from visitor to family at FBC Fenton.

### 1. Come to a Sunday Service
The front door to everything at FBC is our Sunday morning worship service, held every week at **10:30 AM** at 860 N. Leroy St., Fenton, MI 48430. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, you'll find genuine worship, verse-by-verse biblical preaching, and people who are genuinely glad you're there.
Can't make it in person? You can watch live or catch past sermons on our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo8E0MoXuz_E5BvaROleSDQ).

### 2. Attend a Next Steps Class
Our **Next Steps classes** are short, instructor-led courses designed to help you discover who we are, what we believe, and how you can find your place here. Topics range from biblical literacy and theology to marriage, parenting, and personal finance. Classes run 4–15 weeks and are open to everyone.
Next Steps is the best way to go from knowing about FBC to truly belonging here.

### 3. Join a Small Group
At FBC, we say: *Sunday services make the church large; Small Groups make it small.* Our Small Groups meet throughout the week in homes and at the church. They're designed for Bible study, mutual care, accountability, and friendship — the kind of community that shows up when life gets hard.
If you're not in a Small Group, you're missing the best part of FBC life.

### 4. Serve Somewhere
Every person at FBC has gifts that the church needs. Whether it's greeting at the door, serving in Kids Ministry, running sound, or joining our Missions Team — serving is one of the fastest paths to feeling at home. It's also one of the most biblical: we were made to contribute, not just consume.
To explore serving opportunities, talk to one of our pastors or [book an appointment](/book-appointment).

### 5. Meet with a Pastor
Sometimes the best next step is a simple conversation. Our pastors — **Pastor James Bell** and **Pastor Cody McNeely** — are genuinely available and would love to meet with you. Whether you have questions about faith, need prayer, or just want to know what FBC is all about, they're here.

## You Belong Here
FBC Fenton is not a perfect church — it's a church full of imperfect people who are walking with Jesus together. As one of our members put it: *"Perfect place for imperfect people."*
We'd love for you to be part of what God is doing here.
