About Us

The Way, The Truth, The life.

Know the Way, Abide in the Truth, Experience the Life.

At FBC Edom, our mission is rooted in John 14:6 where Jesus says "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." We desire for every person to know the Way, and we hope that every person who steps through our doors will leave having heard and experienced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

The Way

At FBC Edom, we believe that salvation is found in Christ alone. Jesus is not one of many ways — He is The Way. Because of this, we are committed to proclaiming the gospel clearly and boldly, calling people to repentance and faith in Him. 

As followers of Jesus, we seek to walk in His ways daily — living lives marked by obedience, surrender, and mission. We are a people sent to make Him known, pointing others to the only One who can save. 

The Truth

At FBC Edom, we are grounded in the Word of God. His Word is what changes us. At FBC Edom, we believe the Word of God is our final authority and our sure foundation. It is through the truth of scripture that God reveals Himself, convicts us of sin, and transforms our lives. 

We are committed to faithful, expository preaching, intentional discipleship, and personal engagement with the Word. As we abide in His truth, we are shaped into the image of Christ.

The Life

At FBC Edom, we believe that an abundant life is only found in Christ. We strive to live out the Christian life together In community and discipleship.

Through Jesus we are not only saved but made new and invited into a deep and abiding relationship with Him. 

This life is not meant to be lived in isolation, but in community with other believers. We are committed to cultivating a church marked by prayer, authentic relationships, accountability, and encouragement. 

Together, we pursue christ, grow as disciples and experience the fullness of life He has given us.
