We want all of our youth to know Jesus Christ and to find their ultimate joy and satisfaction in Him.
We have designed our youth ministry to deepen understanding of the greatness of our God and to give encouragement in the pursuit of godliness. It is our desire to see students not just grow in their faith, but to own their faith. Luke 2:52 tells us that "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people."
During the critical teenage years, we long for students to follow in Jesus' example; to grow in "wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people."
**Background checks through Protect My Ministry are required to serve in the Youth Ministry.

FUGE Life Group Points will begin on Sunday, March 16th and will go to Sunday, May 25th (Easter Sunday excluded). Each Sunday that a student attends Life Group, they will receive one point worth $15 each. At the end of the 10 weeks, the total number of points will be added up and the total amount will be subtracted from your students’ overall camp balance. If a student attends all 10 Life Groups (worth $150 total), the student’s final balance will be $199. These final balances MUST be paid before we leave for camp on Monday, June 9th.
Due to final balances being different amounts, only deposits will be paid using this registration link. Final balances can be paid by check, cash, or through the FBC Online using the "Fuge" payment option.
Minister of Students and Single Adults
I started at FBC Flora in August of 2020. I have the privilege of leading students in grades 7-12, as well as college students and single adults. In addition to student ministry, I assist the church’s media and production efforts, ensuring worship services and events are communicated effectively and with excellence. My favorite aspect of FBC Flora is the strong sense of community and family; from the moment my wife and I walked through the doors, we were welcomed and treated like family. I’m married to Laine Nanney, who teaches seventh-grade English at Brandon Middle School. When not serving the church, I enjoy working out, playing music, and spending time outdoors.
Student Ministry Intern
I have been interning at FBC Flora since February 2023, and my favorite thing about First Baptist Flora is this community and how we care for one another like family. My family includes my mom, Sharon Thompson, my brother, Brock, my sister-in-law, Cassidy and my nephew, Webber. In my free time, I enjoy watching football on Sundays and hanging out with friends.
