Just as the church building stands out in Pine Mountain so does the presence of the church body, its members and its influence and service. For years, a Fall Festival was presented to the community There was food, hot dogs or turnip greens and cornbread, a live blue grass band, games and goodies, a hayride, all presented with a welcoming Christian spirit. In the summer VBS attendees were not only FBC children but boys and girls from the entire community. The fellowship hall is the focus of many church activities, but has been used by community groups as well. For many years a ladies Bible study has met on Wednesday mornings, with women from all over the surrounding area participating. Addiction recovery groups, particularly AA and NA, have also used the hall for their regular evening meetings.
In recent years the church has reached out to three special groups which have been in Pine Mountain temporarily. In the mid 70's Southern Baptist missionary families came to live in Pine Mountain for training before they began their service on the mission field. Many then attended worship with the church for their stay here, and twice the director of the training program served as interim pastor of the church. These servants blessed the church and the church in turn was blessed.
Another Callaway group which was special to the church was the FSU Flying High Circus. These students came for about forty summers to conduct recreational activities for children of Callaway guests and to present circus performances throughout the week. In the 90's FBC welcomed the students with a "get-acquainted" meal each summer, and individual families "adopted " students for the summer, providing them with a local connection. Many of the students regularly worshiped with their church families on Sundays.
More recently, another group of students has resided in Pine Mountain, these for a nine month stay at IMPACT 360, a gap year program established to equip young adults to become Christ centered servant leaders. Many of these students attend worship at FBC and have found a temporary church home here.
