First Baptist Melbourne is excited about offering Moving Forward, a biblical and balanced recovery program that is not limited to addictions. Moving Forward is positive. It doesn't remain in the past and doesn't encourage standing still in the present. We can and should move forward in life beginning where we are. We have share groups for chemical and non-chemical issues.
Philippians 3:13-14 says, "I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Moving Forward is built around small group interaction and the fellowship of a caring community.
Meetings are held every Friday night in the Junior High Student Center. We have a meet and greet time from 6:45 - 7:10 with refreshments. Childcare check-in begins at 6:45; reservations are requested so we can adequately staff our children's needs.
Pizza Dinner is served every First Friday of the month from 6-6:45 pm for $1.00 a slice. Every third month is a carry-in meal.
Worship and teaching time is from 7:10 - 7:55 PM. We use material from Celebrate Recovery as our base format and supplement from time to time.
Open Share Groups meet from 8-9:00 PM. Coffee and fellowship is available until 9:30 PM; children need to be picked up from childcare by 9:15 PM.
For more information or to make childcare reservations call 321-723-0561.
All of us have hurts, hang-ups, and habits. We need direction from God's word and the support of fellow believers to keep us strong and victorious. One of the first steps is to face our denial and accept God's grace. We offer the women's step study on Sunday evenings from 6:00 - 7:45 pm beginning October 2nd in WC-109. If you would like to register for this class online, please use this link.
We use Celebrate Recovery's material for our children's program for ages 1st - 6th graders. Celebration Station covers the same topics in our adult program - just translated into language and experiences kids can understand. Celebration Station is truly a celebration of the joy in life, the wonder of God's love, and the promises of the future. Kids will experience sessions on topics such as denial, powerlessness, forgiveness, mercy, grace, and more - at their age level.
