FBC's Young Adult Ministry (YAM) exists to...
Build authentic community, deepen our faith in Christ, and spur one another on to love and good works as we make Christ known... encouraging growth through meaningful friendships, discipleship, service, and shared fun along the way.
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”
-Hebrews 10:23-25a

Through Scripture, discussion, and real-life application, this study aims to equip you to be both rooted in Hope through the truth of God’s Word and ready to live and speak it—for your good and God’s glory. Our theme for the coming months is:
ROOTED IN HOPE:
Engaging with Truth, Cultural Apologetics, and Relationships that Endure
In a world that constantly shifts, we are called to be rooted in unshakable truth and resilient in faith. A variety of teachers will help us explore both theological and cultural apologetics—equipping us to communicate winsomely—while addressing common interpersonal struggles. Through thoughtful apologetics and personal growth, we’ll gain the confidence to share what we believe and the compassion to reflect Christ in every interaction. Together, we’ll grow stronger in our convictions, more connected in our relationships, and more equipped to live with wisdom, clarity, and unwavering hope.
The study is structured around four major focus areas:
The study is structured around four major focus areas:
- CLARITY of Faith (Theological Apologetics) –
Explore such topics as who God is, why the Bible can be trusted, and how we know the resurrection actually happened. Build a solid, reasoned foundation for your faith that withstands questions and doubts.
- COURAGE in a Shifting Culture (Cultural Apologetics) –
Examine today’s most pressing cultural issues—sexuality, race, justice, life, and identity—through the lens of Scripture. Discover how to think biblically and stand firmly in truth while showing grace to others.
- COMPASSION in Speaking the Truth (Cultural Conversations) –
Learn how to talk about your faith, convictions, and worldview in a winsome, respectful, and effective way. Develop the confidence to engage in meaningful dialogue without compromising biblical truth.
- CULTIVATE Healthy Community (Personal Relationships) –
From dating and deep friendship to conflict resolution and accountability, apply God’s wisdom to your everyday interactions. Grow in emotional maturity, Christlike humility, and relational depth.
Logistics:
Teachers:
We will have a variety of teachers share in their area of passion and expertise. The teaching time will be short. Bite-sized, but with depth, as we know people are often tired at the end of a long work week. Following the teaching time, we will divide into small groups for discussion, application and prayer. These small groups will be randomly divided and will stay the same for about 3 months before shuffling.
Small Groups:
· Because you meet with the same people each week you can follow up on prayer requests, providing accountability and support
· New people will have a place to belong right off the bat
· Because they are randomly assigned you will get to know people you don’t normally spend time with (this will offset the cliques that naturally form)
· Shuffling the groups every 3 months will broaden the number of people you get to know and will deepen relationships throughout the whole group.
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”
