As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
A large part of our church community at FBCM are our volunteer teams. Serving on one or more of these Teams provides fellowship with one another and follows Christ’s example to serve in our church and community. The Teams listed below are currently active. See our Ministry Volunteers bulletin board, in the 2nd floor hall near the Sanctuary, for more details. Come get to know your fellow members, and serve God. It’s a win-win!
