Grow

The Bible tells us that Jesus’ disciples “devoted themselves to His teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). Those who knew Jesus continued to learn, to teach, to pray and to mentor one another so that their faith would take root and grow to maturity.

Jesus does not want our relationship with Him to be limited to membership in His family. He has given us tools and means to learn about His life and how we should live, and to communicate with Him, so that our relationship with Jesus will grow in maturity over time. For us today, the Bible itself is a textbook for the Christian life. Prayer--simply talking to God and listening for His response--is also available to us.

At First Baptist Church of Brandon, we offer many opportunities to grow in maturity. Sunday School (Bible Study) is a core program at our church. Every week hundreds gather on our campus to read and learn from the Bible. There are also many discipleship classes for all ages--some study specific books of the Bible and others are topical in nature.

Within our Bible Study small groups, in worship and through many organized prayer events we communicate with God, seeking His guidance, offering our praise and confession and asking Him to meet specific needs.
