Group of volunteers who help with the audio and visual production required for worship each week. 

Throughout the school year, we provide meals to students at Laurens Elementary School who are identified as need-based. There are many ways you can be involved in this special ministry! There is a set menu for packing each week, which makes it a very simple and easy process!

Order Food & Pick-Up Monthly

Organizational skills and computer skills needed. Count what is currently shelved and make a list of what is needed for the month. The food order is placed at Sam's Club once a month to restock our shelves.  Pick-up requires a larger vehicle or truck where many boxes can be loaded. Unloading the food and shelving upon return is also needed.

Order Food & Pick-Up by Semester

We place a food order from Ingles two times per school year. No computer skills are needed. You would coordinate a large order with the Manager on site and arrange for pick-up. Unloading the food and shelving upon return is also needed.

Weekly/Monthly Packing 

We have a rotation of weekly packers (which ends up being once per month).  There is a set menu each week and you pack exactly what is needed from that menu into shopping bags. You would then deliver bags to Laurens Elementary School midweek so that they are available to distrubute at the end of the week based on their school schedule.

The Bereavement Meal ministry is a service we lovingly provide for members of FBCL after the death of a family member. It involves providing a meal before or after the funeral service, either at the home of the family or at the church. If you are interested in volunteering with this ministry, either through the preparation of food or the gift of your time to assist with setting up, serving, and cleaning up of the meal, please email Adair Rogers to join the team.

The C3 Committee provides Care, Compassion and Connection to all ages of our congregation. Members of C3 are tasked with visiting, sending cards, delivering food, or a simple phone call to those who are grieving, sick, hospitlized or homebound. 

Each Tuesday during the school year, we offer a time of all things music (choir, choir chimes/handbells, and recreation) to our 1st-5th graders.  Whether you have musical talent or not, we would love to have you join us! Help is needed getting groups (divided by grade) from one rotation to another, crowd control, and lots of love!

We would be honored to have you help lead one of our many children's Sunday School classes! We offer classes from infant to 5th Grade.  

What does it take to "teach" our infant class? All you need is love. We rock, read, sing, and cuddle the precious babies who are just beginning to learn all about church.

Beginning at age 1, we use The Gospel Project curriculum. This curriculum is provided and includes a detailed teaching guide. Lessons are a combination of teacher presentation, video, and include optional games/activities and are also flexible enough to accommodate different teaching styles. Of course, each lesson is age -specific depending on the class you are in.
