Do you realize that First Baptist Church has been serving Christ in this community since 1839? In July of that year, a group of believers assembled together to form this family of faith. I wonder what they imagined the church would be like 175 years later? On Sunday, July 6, we will be celebrating the 175th Anniversary of FBC. To celebrate, we have several opportunities planned. First of all, we will join together for one combined worship service at 10:30 AM (we will have no Sunday School or early service that day). Secondly, we will enjoy an old-fashioned Dinner-on-the-Grounds in the Outreach Center after the service. We want to ask every family to bring at least one dish to share with the church family. You can drop it off in the OC on your way to the sanctuary. Third of all, we will give the opportunity to tour the Chapel. On that tour, you will be able to read some of the history of the church. Finally, we will give you the opportunity to tour the New Children's Building. By that time, hopefully enough will be done to get an idea of how ministry will take place when it's finished. This is sure to be a great day for the whole church family. Please circle this date on your calendar and make your plans to join us as we celebrate!
Thank you for allowing us to stand among you in the forest of trees that makes up FBC Starkville.
