Faith Baptist Church of Streetsboro, Ohio

Adult
ABFs are the adult alternative to "Sunday School." We strive to meet the unique needs and wants of adults. We further recognize that adults tend to form stronger bonds with other adults of similar "life situation periods." Thus, we have broken our ABF groups into broad "time of life" periods."
Bible
We study the Bible because it's God's Word and because it is important and relevant for life. The study of the Bible is the primary goal of our ABFs, and we use various methods of teaching to accurately teach the Bible.
Fellowships
We believe that ABFs are much more than mere adult Sunday School, because they include interaction between class members both inside and outside of normal class times. We strive to get to know one another, pray for each other, care about each other's needs, become friends with one another, and help each other grow.
