• Tribes are weekly co-ed family groups. Tribes vary in size from 5 to 30 participants.

• Tribes exist as a way for students to experience community, pray faithfully and boldly and be encouraged by the Word. 

• Tribes are hosted by WFBC members providing an opportunity to connect with more experienced church families. 

A Tribe meeting has three main parts: fellowship, scripture study, and prayer. A Tribe meeting is designed to last two hours. Prayer is a major focus, so be prepared for forty-five minutes of prayer broken up in different ways. Forty-five minutes of fellowship and 30 minutes in a Bible based devotional. Many Tribes include a meal together while others provide snacks.

This is the heartbeat of Tribes. Tribes aim to cultivate a heart of prayer in students with a specific emphasis on missionaries around the world. Each week we pray for missionaries who are connected to WFBC. Students are pushed in their prayer lives and experience communal group prayer, imitating the practice of the early Church in Acts 2.
