The Vision for FBC Laredo

Ministry + Discipleship + Evangelism = Worship

Ministry – We are inspired by the Holy Spirit and teaching, led by key leaders, to engage in serving others in fellowship with one another.

Discipleship – We attend Bible Study weekly in fellowship with one another and are in a 1 on 1 personal mentoring relationship.

Evangelism – We engage the 4x4 strategy to win people to Christ.

The result of our ministry, discipleship, and evangelism is worship.
