Speaker Bret Brooks, Elder & Worship Team Vocalist
Join us for our next Institute Forum—a free, one-night opportunity to dive deep into rich theological teaching and practical application. These forums, hosted by the Institute at FCC, are designed to equip the church through focused lectures on essential biblical truths.

Our speaker for the evening is Bret Brooks, Elder and Worship Team Vocalist at FCC. Together, we’ll explore a biblical Theology of Worship—not just what we do on Sunday mornings, but the posture of our hearts every day. We'll tackle questions like: What does it mean to live all of life as worship? How is worship more than singing? How do we guard our hearts against worshiping the wrong things? Whether you serve on a worship team, lead a group, or simply want to grow in your walk with Christ, this Forum is for you. Come be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to glorify God in every area of life.

Forums are stand-alone, one-time gatherings that provide an opportunity for the whole church to be trained in an essential area of discipleship.

Kids Life Classes are available for children birth-5th grade with advanced registration.

For additional information about the Forum, contact: Jake Preston, email.
