WEEKLY GROUPS
Missional Communities
Missional Communities (MishComms) are where college students move from attending to belonging. These groups meet weekly in the homes of FBCO families across Auburn and Opelika to share meals, study Scripture, pray together, and live out authentic Christian community.
Each MishComm is connected to a local family who provides encouragement, connection, and a home away from home.
Join a group that fits your schedule—Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday nights—and start living life on mission with others who are pursuing Jesus.

Common Questions
How can I get involved?
Start showing up! Come to Sunday mornings, Wednesday night worship in The Worship Center, and join a Missional Community Group during the week. You’ll build friendships, grow in faith, and find people who will walk with you through every season of college life.
Do I have to be a member to attend?
Everyone’s welcome—whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just exploring what you believe.
I haven’t been to church in a while (or ever). What should I expect?
You’re not alone. Every week, we meet students who are brand new to church or haven’t been in years.
On Sundays and Wednesdays, we come together to sing, study God’s Word verse-by-verse, and fellowship with our church family. Each Wednesday, we also break off into groups and partake in the Lord’s Supper together. Bring your Bible if you have one—if not, let us know and we’ll make sure you get one.
If you have any other questions about what to expect, email fbcocollege@gmail.com and we’ll make sure you have everything you need to come and enjoy church with us.
