Small Groups
The heart of the adult ministry at First Baptist is the Sunday morning small groups at 9:45. Bible study is offered for adults at every age & stage of life. Find the location of your small group here.
Fellowships
Recognizing that “meeting together” (Hebrews 10:25) is a vital part of the Christian life, each age level small group has fellowships throughout the year. Some departments have monthly dinners out together.
In an effort to stimulate cross-generational activities and to allow time for members to just “hang out,” there are scheduled church-wide fellowships after the evening service in the church gym many times each year.
Support Groups
Fresh Start Divorce Recovery – This 5-week support group is held twice a year, or as needed. There is a workbook to be purchased for $15 to be used in this interactive group.
Super Senior Support Breakfast – Quarterly, on the last Thursday, widows and widowers are invited for breakfast and short entertainment. Some months breakfast is cooked at the church, and some months participants are asked to bring their favorite breakfast food to share. Occasionally, meetings are held in the clubhouse of an apartment complex where our members reside.
Grief Support Groups – Meet as needed.
Senior Adults
The Golden Age Club meets the 1st Tuesday of each month. A covered dish meal is served, and a speaker or other form of entertainment is provided.

There are mission study groups, both morning and evening on the 2nd Monday of the month and another the morning of the 3rd Thursday. These groups study about & pray for our foreign and national missionaries and participate in hands-on projects locally.
THURSDAYS
Ladies meet at 10 a.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month for Casseroles for Christ. They provide casseroles for families in times of illness or crisis.
Sunday Evenings there are a variety of discipleship offerings for individual growth in Christ-likeness and for those who may be interested in improving their marriage or parenting skills. Beth Moore studies are offered many semesters.
The most exciting aspect of ministry at FBC Belton is that God brings the right people, with the right gifts to begin new women’s ministries every year. Could you be one of those women?
