FRC

When life gets tough, it is easy to doubt that things can get better. The disciples had watched their friend be crucified and buried in a tomb, and they were devastated. Even though others had claimed to see Jesus resurrected from the dead, Thomas did not want to get his hopes up, only to be disappointed again. He doubted their story. It was not until Thomas saw the scars on Jesus’ hands and side that he was filled with hope…

It's time to get pumped for our Youth Praise Team!

(sound of telephone ringing) God’s calling! Will you pick up the phone? He’s got a purpose for your life that He will tell you about.  Interested? Pick up the phone by coming to church to answer the call. There is way more to life than what we have, how successful we are, whom we hang with, or how many we influence. God’s purpose for you is the answer to “What on earth am I here for?” Jump onboard for six…

God doesn’t first call us to DO something. No, He calls us first to accept something. We are called to be loved! God’s love for us is wide, deep, long, and high. There are great practical implications when we receive that love! Let’s explore what the Bible has to say about our calling to be loved. Join us today for the next message in our "What on Earth Am I Here For?" worship series! Listen on Facebook live, watch on…

There’s an old song that goes like this: “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God.” Today we learn that we are called to belong. God gathers his sons and daughters to belong to each other and to Him. The gathering of those who belong is called the church. Are you both part of the family, and glad to be so? Join us today for the next message in our "What on Earth Am I Here For?"…

God’s first purpose for our lives is creating us to Be Loved. Second, He creates us to Belong. Today, we discover our third purpose - we are created to Become. We are to Become like Jesus! But what exactly does this mean? There is no way we can become a mini-me of the Christ! But God does want us to become godly with characteristics like love, joy, peace, patience, etc . . . . Let’s explore God’s intentions for shaping us…

God calls us to help other people. However, do you realize there’s much in it for us as we serve? In the message this Sunday, we will explore four benefits of serving others as we discover how we are “Called to Bless.” Join us today for the next message in our "What on Earth Am I Here For?" worship series! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, cruise into our drive-in venue, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Holiday preparations are probably at full tilt in your family. Will you all be home for Christmas? “Hopefully, but it’s complicated,” you respond. It’s complicated because “home” may have switched a few times over the years. There were moves to various homes in different locations. It was the same for Jesus. We easily think that Jesus’ hometown was Bethlehem, but don’t speak too quickly. It was complicated for his family too! Over the course of advent, we will explore Jesus’…

Join us to watch a fun, interactive Christmas program featuring the children of our church! There will be live actors, speakers, festive singing, and tons of joy to go around. The kids will show us the true meaning of Christmas and lead us in great worships songs. The program will be during regular church service, starting at 10 am. Hope to see you there!

Jesus’ hometown from toddler-age through early manhood was Nazareth. The Bible says in Matthew 2: 23: “So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’” HHHMMM . . . . Try to find that reference in the Old Testament - you won’t be able to. So what does Matthew mean, and why did God the father plan for Jesus to grow up in Nazareth? Today, we will learn how beautifully human political history intersects…

Join us for a joyous, candlelight Christmas Eve service starting at 9:30 pm as we celebrate our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!

All are welcome, including children in their warm and cozy pajamas. Hope to see you there!

Sometimes evil seems so massive, so immense, so consuming, that the triumph of good is a sheer human impossibility. So it seemed in Bethlehem, as Jesus was born, and Herod bore down on that tiny village to destroy the little boy Jesus. Please join us today for the final message in our worship series about Jesus’ home towns! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, cruise into our drive-in venue, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Last week, we gazed upon beauty and lamented the ugly, and made passing reference to other religions’ answers to “Why the beautiful order?” and “Why the pain and chaos?” Today, we consider “Where’s God?” and “What’s the resolution?” Bible truth answers the greatest human questions! Please join us today for for a thought-provoking message on God's plan for the world! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, cruise into our drive-in venue, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

This Sunday, we jump into week two of our five-week series on heaven with a message entitled: “The Eternal Heaven - Earth Restored.”  We live in the 2nd era of Earth - the time period in between paradise and Earth restored/heaven. But we can sense paradise lost and the new that is to come. This week, we will explore the eternal heaven, which is paradise on Earth restored and upgraded. Please join us this Sunday as we continue our study…

People look forward to heaven for many reasons. Some long for an end to pain, suffering, or injustice. Some look forward to renewing relationship with a deceased mate, child, or parent. Others long to no longer struggle. All of this longing is valid, but the main satisfaction and joy of heaven will be to be with God forever. Don’t let the lesser longings take over the place of foremost longing! Please join us today as we learn more about what…

Today, we consider the place of human relationships in heaven. Will I recognize and still be in family connection with a mate, children, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins? Will I still be married or not? And what about friendships dear to me on Earth? And if there are relationships and memories of the past in heaven, won’t it be painful knowing of family and friends in hell? We have lots of questions! Let’s seek Biblical answers in today’s message,…

Today is the conclusion of our worship series “Heaven: Seeing the Shore.” I hope you’ve seen it and are excited for what God will do in restoring His earth and moving in with His people here. We’ve considered the primary relationship of heaven with Him, relationships with others, and today we will focus on the activities of heaven. We await perfect culture, enjoyable work without a broken creation’s resistance, dream houses, succulent meals, animal creatures never seen before on earth,…

Sin is humanity’s greatest problem. And, it’s a problem we can do absolutely nothing about. We are totally depraved, as bad off as we can possibly be! Let’s consider the implications, and a God-sized solution. It’s Lent! Humble yourself before the Christ of the cross. This is not “feel-good” church, because Christ’s sacrifice for human sinfulness was costly and painful. He calls humanity to follow and be disciples - not follow and “feel good.” Please join us today, as we…

Are we seeing the Lord clearly? Do we have on the "glasses" of faith in Jesus? We are reminded in today's message that "the righteous will live by faith," and that we need to focus on seeing the Lord at work in His world. Please join us today, as we learn more about seeing and doing the Lord’s work! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, cruise into our drive-in venue, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

God is so good. Sometimes His goodness is experiencing His restraint of the full effects of human sinfulness. This goodness is experienced by both believers and those who do not believe. It is a goodness not much thought about. After all, how do you experience the goodness of a dam holding back a cascade of water from sending a tsunami of water flooding downstream destroying the communities below? The dam is good! We all agree. It’s restraining effects are important.…

On Maundy Thursday, April 14, at 7 PM we will celebrate with a Passover Seder (the Old Testament salvation supper) and communion. This is a family-friendly event, so bring your kids and grandkids! The Seder will involve some light eating to enhance the teachings of Passover, but it will not be a full meal. Please call, message, or stop by to sign up if you plan to attend so we can prepare accordingly. All are welcome!

So often folks dress up for Easter. Some may look pretty spiffy here today! We just aren’t a particularly formal church, so there won’t be a great deal of dressing up in our finest for Easter. However, we are all highly encouraged to take off our rags and be dressed up in the spotless radiance of Christ! We will actually have an opportunity to do that at the conclusion of the message. Wear that ugly rag during worship with disgust…

Prime Timers will be having a lunch at noon here at FRC down in the Fellowship Hall. The menu will be soup, sandwiches, and dessert. Please sign up in the Gathering Centering or by calling the church office so we can prepare accordingly.

Today, we consider the life and death of the greatest Old Testament mom. Jews of Old Testament faith revered her, and many stories reverberate through Jewish history to this day celebrating her life and her sacrificial ways. Hers is a great story for Mother’s Day, and a reminder of the grace and goodness of God in the midst of the struggles and delights of human life. Happy Mother’s Day, moms! You are a gift of God! Please join us today…

What would you do if you were about to die? Any last requests?  What’s on your bucket list? We see clearly what Jesus would do, because of what He did. He washed the disciples’ feet. And this was one of His last acts meant to bestow profound consequence on His disciples. . . . and on us. We have the ministry of the towel. Please join us today for a timely message about ministry! Listen on Facebook live, watch on…

“Love One Another” – It’s a message we see commonly displayed on posters, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, and profile pics. It’s a great catchy phrase – but is it something that we really “do” every day? Sure, all of us love our families and friends. But God calls us to do more – to love those who are hard to love, and even those who may have done evil towards us or others. Join us today to hear a guest…

Are you obedient to God? Not just in the easy things, but the difficult things? Being obedient to God is not a magical defense against the bad things in this life, but it certainly does help to minimize exposure to sinful things that can have lasting negative consequences. Those who hope for the best outcomes in life would be wise to pursue God and the things He considers good, rather than following after sin and sinful things. Do you have…

What are those words at the end of a church service? “The Lord bless you and keep you?”   Is it simply a wonderful wish? Or does God give something to His people? One thing is for sure, the people attending the service pause reverently, some extend hands, others bow their heads, but all go quiet, pay attention, and sense a special moment goes with those holy biblical words. Today we learn what the benediction or blessing at the end…

A congregational meeting will be held here at 7 pm. All members are invited to attend to discuss important issues!

Today we go to Jesus’ place for dinner. He has instituted his meal to communicate to us His real presence.

Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Come for a time of coffee, chatting, and fellowship! We will meet in the Gathering Center at 11 am. Hope to see you there!

No matter what or where your walk in life may be, FRC is a place for anyone to connect with a uplifting, positive community of friends seeking the next step in their spiritual growth.

Can doubt be part of a faithful Christian’s life? Do Christians always have faith at full capacity? Today, we explore the place that doubt has in a Christian’s life, and how it helps to shape and mature our faith. Join us today as we ponder the role of both doubt and faith in a Christian's life! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

One of our misconceptions as we read the Bible is that the Bible characters are super ordinary people who did great things for God. God used them because of their greatness. However, dig deeper and you find that the Bible characters were pretty ordinary folk who were used by God to accomplish super ordinary purposes. For the next four weeks, we will explore the life of Joseph. We will discover his life was ordinary - filled with family dysfunction, difficult circumstances, and selfish…

Prime Timers will be having a lunch at Barb & Stan’s home at noon. The menu will be sloppy joes, calico beans, chips, salad, and dessert. Please sign up at the Welcome Center or by calling the church office so we can prepare accordingly.

With a theme entitled ‘Heaven Rules,’ women will be connected across the world with a reminder to anchor their hearts to the unshakable truth that Jesus is King. Heaven rules is the two-word answer for every two-word worry, for every wave of assault on your peace of mind. Because Heaven’s rule is God’s rule: His rule over…

The Bible has the power to equip us thoroughly. Today, we will learn how the Bible provides endurance to continue in the good work God has for us. We will see how the Bible is God-breathed and inspired, which enables us to partner with God in His work. We are challenged to remember that the Bible is useful in shaping us so God can use us to shape others. Please join us for the message today as we discover how…

Are you a doubter about the reliability of the Bible? If so, you have come to the right place! The message today will contain two parts. First, we consider a large piece of evidence for the reliability of the Bible. Second, we consider three forms of doubt: moral, intellectual, and psychological. Finally, we will have some suggestions for navigating doubts that will help to build faith instead of destroying it. Please join us for the message this today as we…

Please join us for a joy-filled Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday, November 23 at 7 pm! We will be led by the Youth Praise Team in a family-friendly, dynamic time of thanking God for His abundance of blessings. We will focus on Psalm 148 as we praise the Lord for all that He has created, from the splendor of the heavens to everything and everyone here on Earth. Come ready to share your own personal short stories of thankfulness to God…

Last week, we considered the first piece of external evidence for the Bible’s reliability - the historical authenticity of the text. The Bible gives us historic figures, time, places, and dates so that we see the Bible in the context of human history. This is unlike most religious holy books from the world’s religions. We also considered moral, psychological, and intellectual doubts and remedies. Today, we consider what books compose the Bible and why. Indeed, the Bible is worth trusting!…

What does Christmas mean to you? We will unpack the meaning of Christmas from its very beginning. There is a deep longing on our part to be united to the presence of God. There is a deep willingness and plan on God’s part to be united to us. Throughout the Bible, we see this human longing and God’s willingness and plan to be present with people. God is with and for His people! Please join us for the message today as we learn how to…

God doesn’t only connect “with us,” but He’s “for us.” Given life’s difficulties, disasters, and heartbreaks, how can that be true? What does it mean that God is “for us?” Please join us this today as we unpack what it means for God to be “for us!” Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Nicknames often reveal something about the named. What is Your nickname? What does it reveal about you? What are Jesus’ nicknames? What do they reveal about Him? Please join us today as we discuss the different names of Jesus! We will also be having our annual Christmas program featuring the children of our church! There will be live actors, speakers, festive singing, and tons of joy to go around. The kids will show us the true meaning of Christmas and…

Join us for a joyous, Candlelight Service starting at 6:00 pm on Sunday, December 18 as we celebrate our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! We will sing contemporary and classic Christmas songs together and listen to scripture readings as we delight in the real reason for the season. Bring the whole family! Hope to see you there! (Nursery services will be unavailable)

Jerislav Pelikan, a Yale Historian, wrote: “Regardless of what anyone may personally think or believe about him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of western culture for almost twenty centuries. It is from His birth that most of the human race dates its calendars, it is by His name that millions curse, and in His name that millions pray.”   On this Christmas Sunday in 2022, let’s stand back and recognize the scope and the…

What are you expecting in 2023? What should Christians expect? Let’s compare with the Apostle Paul’s expectations as he writes from a Philippi jail with his expectations and hopes for the future. Please join us this today as reflect on how to live for Jesus in the New Year! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

God gives us the gift of emotions, but when they rule our being, they destroy us. On the other hand, when emotions rightly inform us, they can help positively shape us. Emotions help fill life with meaning, and help us to rightly respond to situations. We will look at three biggies: anger, sadness, and desire. Here’s a question to ponder as we launch the series: Were the emotions of anger, sadness, and desire present before the fall into sin? Please join us today…

Emotions are God’s gift. Properly harnessed, emotions fuel us to navigate all of life’s experiences appropriately to the varied moments. The Bible reveals raw emotions in tough moments and seasons. In today’s study of sadness, we are challenged to express sadness, feel more than sadness, remember we’re not alone in our sadness, and find hope in the promise that there will be an end to sadness. Please join us today as we learn more about God's gift of emotions! Listen…

FRC Fremont is hosting an old-fashioned Live Auction on Friday, March 24 starting at 7:00 pm.

The Bible tells us that Christ's resurrection power is available to believers. That promise goes beyond His power available someday at our resurrection from the grave. It's already available now! But we may wonder, "Can I get some of that? If so, how? And what does that mean to have His resurrection power in our lives?" Easter is the big morning for Christians. It will be BIG at FRC as we see His power revealed. Join us!

The richest metaphor for understanding our salvation is the metaphor of “adoption.” What does “adoption” give us in relationship with God that we don’t get simply from being “forgiven,” “freed,” and “rescued?” Today we explore how the resurrection power of Jesus Christ gets displayed in Christians’ adoption as God’s sons and daughters. We belong! We have an inheritance! And we will see how that same resurrection power of adoption is on magnificent display in an FRC family’s life. It’s going…

The spiritual move from “taker” to “giver/servant” is a key transition as a new Christian grows into a fully mature Christian. At first, the new Christian celebrates all Jesus has done for him/her. The next step is to become excited about giving to Him in gratitude for all He has given to us. This process is called “sanctification.” Today’s testimony centers on a person who moved from simply “taking” to “giving.” Also, be sure to join us next Sunday for a testimony from an FRC…

Please join us to help with our outdoor spring cleanup day at church, starting at 9 am. The more helpers we have, the faster we will be able to get everything done! Thank you in advance for your help!
