Ministries

Purpose: The purpose of our Youth Ministry is for these students to know Christ, follow Christ, and share Christ. We want our students to know the gospel and submit to Christ as Lord and Savior as we teach and preach verse by verse through the Scriptures. We also want our students to be following Christ daily by devoting themselves to the Word, time in prayer, and commitment to the local church. We also want them to share this great gospel with their friends. Every part of our ministries revolve around this from Sunday School to Wednesday night youth service, and our small groups.

Purpose: AWANA’s goal is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve HIM. Awana’s strives to reach kids, equip leaders and change the world.

Awana reaches kids for Christ through fun, Scripture-rich experiences that lead them to know, love, and serve him. Kids represent the greatest opportunity to make a long-term impact on our work for Christ. Awana reaches kids where they are at and walks alongside them in their faith journey. Those kids who come to faith at an early age discover God’s purpose for their lives and hope for their future. Ministry leaders and parents witness the profound impact AWANA has in reaching kids with the gospel and watching them grow as long-term disciples.

Awana equips ministry leaders and parents to reach and disciple kids who impact their generation with the gospel.

God is at work changing the world through the evangelism and long-term discipleship ministry of AWANA. Kids lives are forever transformed, Volunteers grow as leaders. Families become stronger and churches build community through active involvement in AWANA. Our world needs the hope that only Christ gives. God is using AWANA to raise up kids, parents, and leaders devoted to knowing Scripture, loving him and reaching others with the gospel.

Our classes are made up of believers of all ages and backgrounds and are geared toward helping you grow in your Christian walk.

Description: FBC Thibodaux has Sunday School classes for all ages. Our adult and college classes walk through books of the Bible verse by verse. Our teachers utilize inductive study methods to helps our classes gain a deeper understanding of the Bible. The adult classes are segregated by age and run from College and up to Senior Adult. We try to keep our class sizes manageable so that you have the opportunity to get to know the people around you.

Teaching Men to be Satisfied in Christ”

Purpose: At FBC Thibodaux, our men’s discipleship ministry exists to follow Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:18-20 to “make disciples” that was faithfully carried out by Paul in 2 Timothy 2:2 by charging Timothy in the way of discipleship. Discipleship has been a way of life for God’s people from the beginning and will continue with us and others until Jesus returns.

FBC Thibodaux has a “Discipleship Pathway” beginning with the expository preaching of God’s word in the pulpit during corporate worship, to more intimate inductive study and discussion led by our gifted teachers in small groups such as Sunday School, to our most intimate form of discipleship that we call D-groups (discipleship groups).

In men’s D-groups, trained men meet with 1-4 other men roughly every other week for 12-18 months to thoroughly study the gospel, walk through key foundational doctrines, and impart biblical study methods of interpretation so that men may be able to fully nourish on God’s word, effectively lead their families, plug into the local church where they are gifted and called, and be able to replicate the process with other faithful men. We build intimate relationships and accountability with each other inside and outside of group meetings by living life together. This intimate form of discipleship, as seen with Jesus, Peter, James and John, has accelerated the spiritual growth and service of our group leaders, and we desire the same for all other men in our fellowship.
