Welcome!!


We invite you to join us and find joy, purpose and hope in this life. We're looking forward to meeting you!

 

  FBC-logo.pngTo many, the Church today seems irrelevant and commercialized — a place that functions more like the corporate world than a place to worship God. At Foundation Baptist Church, you'll find a family atmosphere, relevant truth to guide your life, and a diverse community of believers who are seeking to grow in their walk with Christ and exalt Him in their lives.

Sunday Mornings:

 Renewal: A Church On Mission 

  What is the church to be about in this day and in this culture? That seems to be the subject of many books, blogs and sermons series these days ... and for good reason: there is little clarity in the answers being given. Maybe it's because we don't know what the mission really is. We want to invite you to come explore the answer to this question over the next couple of weeks as we renew our vision and refocus our lives to be on mission for the Glory of God.
 

Sunday Evenings:

Jesus our Love

  When someone invites you to their house for dinner there is almost always an impulsion to go home and scan your calendar for a time when you can "return the favour". When given a gift we are quick to think about what we can give in return. In other words, we naturally tend to love in a reciprocal way. You have done _______, and so I will do _______ in return. This isn't a bad thing but are we doing this because of real love or is there some other motive? Gratitude is often the motive behind these acts of service but there is potentially a problem when we bring this into the realm of why we serve God. So what motivates the Christian to act on their faith ... to live their faith out loud ... to truly love? In this series we are questioning the cultural norm that reciprocation is the purest motivation to serve and obey God. Join us as we look at how love, not gratitude, is really the purest motive for living our faith in a way that brings glory to God.
 

Thursday Evenings:

Community Groups!!

  We have changed our schedule and location of our midweek meetings. Whether you live in the southeast side of our city, or you live in the westend, southwest or even west of the city, we want to open opportunities for you to come and get to know us and study God's Word with us. Where we meet each Thursday night is posted here on our website. Topic of study right now is "Personal Conflict Resolution". Come join in the conversation as we see God's remedy to personal conflict and His way to peace in relationships.

Humiliation

Posted by Pastor Tim on December 21, 2011

Dear Family,

This time of year brings so many thoughts to my mind about Christ and His coming — and all of them end in my own humiliation as I contemplate His.  I have often thought about the passage that John wrote after seeing Jesus (John 3:30).  I think about how radical Christianity is and only in that reality is it a much greater thing for us to decrease (and how damaging and dangerous it is for us to increase in any form).  Only here, in the Christian faith is it better to be in the back, to be last.  Humility in royalty really is radical.  Being a brother with the King of Kings!  In most every earthly understanding we would see people balk at having to always be in the "shadow" of their more "famous" brother.  But not here.  Humility is actually better as we adequately see in Philippians 2.  Can you tell I have been thinking of the kenosis lately :)  Humility in the Christian experience is a glorifying prospect — not just needed, but enjoyed.  It is amazing to consider the "babe" wrapped in dusty rags when we consider how He was not forced to be humbled, but humbled Himself.  Wow!  There is so much to learn from Christ (and so much still to learn about how much we are still not like Him)!  Thank God that He has promised us sanctification!

    @challies: Two years ago today I was ordained to the ministry. Two years ago tomorrow I finally began to drink coffee. Coincidence?” //Nope

    Faith is not real without repentance, and faith is not like that of the demons, simply assenting to truth claims... http://t.co/CSM5k9Nr
