WORSHIP
We are called by God to worship and praise the Lord, our Father God. He is worthy of our praise. We thank the Lord for His blessings, His grace and His mercy. We praise him with our songs, we shout to the Lord from our hearts and thank Him for His love and for the love of His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for us. Lord hear our prayers. We come to God as one church body through Christ to worship and praise His holy Name. We seek to glorify God and make disciples of Jesus Christ through our commitment to Worship, Word and Witness.
All are welcome to join us here at Fountain Baptist Church. You are invited to worship with us and to grow deeper in your relationship with God through the Word and Christian fellowship. Take advantage of our study group experiences. Join us as we go to serve the community locally, nationally, and globally.
There are definitely other churches out there, but there’s no place like FBC. We’re not just a great place to go, we're a great place to grow. God is continually pouring out His Spirit, and we invite you to join with us as we lift up the name of Jesus. Come experience God's Presence here, and His power in your life.

HOLY SPIRIT MINISTRY
The ministry of the Holy Spirit as the Comforter was proclaimed by Jesus, "It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." (John 16:7). We believe the Spirit's ministry in prayer is precious. We are lifted up by the Holy Spirit who gives power for preaching the Word of God. He gives His believers spiritual gifts for the ministry of others. We celebrate the coming of his Breath on Pentacost.
We believe the mighty power of the Holy Spirit works in our church's ministries and service in the work of the kingdom of God. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." (Zech. 4:6) May the promises of the Holy Spirit bring strength and healing to believers now. For those who ask in the name of Jesus will be shown the way through the Holy Spirit who is with us always.

USHER SERVICE
Our ushers are a ministry of men and women fulfilling Jesus' call to serve the Lord Christ, performing the will of God from their hearts. (Ephesians 6:6) Each has a personal relationship with Christ. Evangelism is key to being a Great Commission usher. Ushers often witness in their lives by their example of following the biblical mandate of stewardship.
Our ushers seek to develop a greater evangelistic outreach ministry (to win souls to Christ), engage in the prayer ministry for the church, each other, and our church leaders. They are tithers in church, engaging in daily Bible Study and the reading of the Word as it relates to service. Ushers are financially accountable to the church for receipts of revenue and expenses incurred.
The Usher's Prayer: "May I dear God in church today fulfill assignments in a Christ-like way. Make me efficient in what I do, efficient in what I say, understanding by the way I feel about people and helpful in the attitudes I have toward them. I am thy servant Lord, use me today. In Jesus name, Amen."

DEACONESS SERVICE
The mission of the Deaconess Ministry is to meet the needs of Fountain Baptist Church, under the spiritual guidance of our Pastor and the Deacons by promoting spiritual growth within the church. Our Deaconess Ministry cares for and assists the needs of the overall congregation. Wherever there are sick and shut-in members as well as members in need of prayer, these loyal servants of our Lord are in contact and monitor our prayer list to ensure that our members are not alone. Deaconnesses prepare and set up the church's Holy Communion .
A Deaconness is a follower of Christ whose Christ-like character is exemplary to others. She is familiar with church beliefs, and knows Christian practices. Our Deaconnesses support our Pastor and the vision of the ministry.

DEACON SERVICE
We believe the Bible teaches that all Christians are called to serve and minister to others in Christ's name, but some are called and gifted by God to function in specific roles of ministry, such as deacons. The Deacon must first and foremost be a man who is saved and living for Jesus. The biblical qualifications for a deacon (1 Timothy 3:8-13) focus mostly on character and relationships within the church, family and community. Our Deacons must be persons of impeccable character and deep faith who rely on the Holy Spirit.
Deacons help care for the physical needs of the congregation so that our Pastor can concentrate on spiritual needs. Deacons are not viewed as a governing body but as servant leaders. Our church involves deacons in various ministries, such as visiting the sick, helping families in distress and providing relief to the poor. These are men who are full of the Spirit of God.
