Great college ministry! I am from the Waco area and visited a lot of different churches around Waco when I started at Baylor. I loved that FBC Waco was multigenerational and that I was able to worship every Sunday with all ages from grandparents to toddlers.

I also loved how close knit our college group is. We have small groups every Sunday morning (and free breakfast), then we all attend the church wide worship service together. The worship is mostly traditional, but we do have a jazz band that plays some Sundays. On Sunday nights, the college group is invited to a church member's home for a free home cooked meal (these meals are delicious!). Then on Wednesdays we have a college Bible study at 8 pm.

We also do many things outside of Sunday and Wednesday. Our church has opportunities for us to coach youth sports leagues, to go on Spring Break mission trips, to participate in church outreaches such as LIFT and Agape Meal. We also like to get groups together to go to Baylor sporting events, to eat lunch after church, and to just hang out and play games. Additionally, we have boys and girls small groups that meet biweekly to fellowship and pray together.

In all FBC Waco was a huge part of my Baylor experience and I loved every minute of it. You should definitely check it out if you are looking for a church home in Waco!
