Welcome
At First Baptist, our worship style is blended with hymns and praise choruses, organ, piano and flute. Throughout the year we also use drama to deliver the message of Christ. The sermons are generally expository in nature, that is, we analyze what the passage meant to the original audience, take that meaning and apply it to our lives today. If you are new to the area, looking for a church home, or are just exploring your spiritual life, please come and join us. Bring your questions. Be ready for a challenge. Come and be transformed! Reflection StoryFROM THE PASTOR"I wish you a Happy New Year, but only One" London's Garrick club was once a favorite haunt of England's theatrical and literary circles. Its patrons have included Winne-the-Pooh's creator, AA Milne and Charles Dickens. They also included the actor Frederick Lonsdale, who was engaged in a long running and bitter feud with another club member. The two had once been close friends, but now bitterness kept them apart. It was a New Year’s Eve when Seymour Hicks insisted Lonsdale reconcile with his old friend. "You must," Hicks said to Lonsdale. "It is very unkind to be unfriendly at such a time. Go over now and wish him a happy New Year." Finally convinced, Lonsdale crossed the room to speak to his friend-turned-enemy. "I wish you a happy New Year," he said, "but only one."
