Youth Activites
Children in Worship
We encourage children to remain in worship because kids learn to worship by watching adults worship. We understand that children have short attention spans and can be a bit squirmy at times, so we have established a Quiet Corner at the front of the sanctuary for kids to watch the service while they quietly entertain themselves with various activities. Kids of all ages from toddler to adult are invited to the Quiet Corner following our "Time for Young Disciples" during the worship service.
Kids Night Out
Kids in preschool-5th grade are invited to a night out every second Friday from October-May. 5:30-8pm
Summer Camp
Fun for kids entering grade 3 through high school happens at Westminster Spires, Yellowstone Presbytery's beautiful camp located near Red Lodge, MT. High school youth are encouraged to seek out summer employment as camp counselors, where they can teach their younger counterparts the joy of God’s love!

Adult Discipleship
We believe spiritual formation happens in community, so we offer a variety of Bible Studies and other opportunities to learn and fellowship with one another.

Presbyterian Women
“Presbyterian Women (PW)
is an inclusive and caring community of women,
committed to working toward God’s promise
of wholeness for all people”.
PW at FPCB meets monthly for a meal, a Bible Study and a meeting. During our November FUN Raiser, money is raised through sponsored events such as murder mysteries, gourmet dinners, gardening classes, gourd art classes, yoga, river rafting trips and much more. PW uses the funds raised to support local social service agencies such as Safe Space, Action Inc., the Food Bank and the Rescue Mission. Our support is also given to the International Woman Missionary, whose emphasis is to educate women and children in third-world countries.
