Upcoming Events & News at First Baptist

 

Hey! Hey! Dr. J! It's Your Anniversary! Group Pics
Congratulations to our Pastor on his second anniversary! Dr. Jackson, it's hard to believe it's been two years since you first preached from the pulpit as our new pastor. We pray God's richest blessings on you and your family as you continue to provide passionate leadership and loving pastoral care for the body of First Baptist Church.
Sunday School In Full Swing!
Our new Sunday School year is underway and we are very excited about the possibilities that lay before us. As we commit to the work of the Sunday School, we have no doubt God will bless those efforts toward reaching people with the Gospel, engaging them in weekly Bible study and providing ministry to all we discover in need. Have you committed to regular attendance in a Sunday School class? There's a place for you!
