Dear Church Member: One of the signs of the beginning of summer is the annual church survey. This year the survey is expanded and offered online and in print; please complete only one survey. If you are currently serving and want to continue to serve, please complete the survey. This survey instrument is a valuable resource used by your Committee on Committees to seek who God would have serve at FBCSA. Your prompt and prayerful attention to this survey is critical for the staffing of all church committees and ministry teams. Thanks for all you do and are willing to do for our Lord here at FBC. Keep the faith! After prayerful consideration, I believe God is leading me to volunteer to serve on:
