Every Thursday, LOVE'S KITCHEN provides hot meals, clothing, and groceries to anyone in need.    This ministry, which began in 2013, gives our church a way to show the love of Christ by meeting the physical needs of people right here in our community.  But we also focus on people’s spiritual needs as we interact with and pray for those whom the Lord sends each week.  Volunteers are needed to do such tasks as prepare and serve meals, sort and distribute groceries, and greet our guests.  Contact Dave Gerhardt to learn more.

CROSSWALK AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM operates from 3-5:30 p.m. Tuesdays & Thursdays (during the school year).  There is no fee, and the program is for any and all youth of Henderson County. 

Our focus is to proclaim the message of Christ’s love to orphans and children in foster care, as well as support families who care for them. We offer adoptive family networking and plan to have regular support meetings in the future.  For more information, email Dave Marshall 

Sew Blessed (formerly Memory Makers) is a quilting ministry here at FBC that has been creating beautiful quilts for about ten years.  All our quilts go to charities/ministries both in the United States and across the world.  We give to orphanages, Samaritan's Purse children's heart program, Head Start, Safe Light and IAM just to name a few.  Our prayer is that each person receiving one of our quilts, will be comforted by the scripture on the label and know that we care and that God loves them. We meet on Tuesdays 12:00-6:00 pm, Thursdays 5:30-9:00 pm and every 3rd Saturday 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.

F.I.S.H. stands for Forgiven I Serve Him!  This ministry seeks to reach out to those who may feel they are abandoned and hopeless, the “least of these” Jesus talks about in Matthew 25.   Regular visits are made to area prisons, and inmates are served such delicious items as funnel cakes and cotton candy, treats they may only eat once a year.  The F.I.S.H. team also goes to children's homes in Broyhill and Black Mountain, where the same kinds of foods are prepared and served, and activities and games organized.  Finally, each year F.I.S.H. ministers to campers and their families at a regional Joni and Friends retreat for those who live with disabilities.

To participate contact Gale Beal.

English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are offered here at FBC twice a week.  This is a perfect setting for those from other countries to learn English or improve their speaking, reading, and writing skills.   Classes in our ESL Center (located in the annex building at the corner of 5^th Ave. and Buncombe St.) have a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Qualified volunteer instructors show and share the love of Christ to adult students from around the world!  Childcare is available during classes. Contact Barbara Mang for more information about serving as a volunteer or referring someone as a student.

The Storehouse is a Christ-centered ministry established for the purpose of providing food and life’s most basic necessities for those in need in Henderson County. In our work here, mercy and grace are our guiding rules. We believe that, “In as much as you have done into the least of these you have done also unto me” (Matthew 25:40).

We gladly receive all those sent across our path, just as they are, with kindness and without judgment. We respect the dignity of all who come to us and strive to show them God’s love. We perceive Jesus in each of his creations by trying always to be mindful to entertain strangers. For by doing so, some people have entertained angels without knowing it (Hebrews 13:2).
