Welcome
We live in a society hugely affected by
technology. Technology in turn depends upon good connections.
It is our desire to do all we can to help individuals connect
with Jesus Christ, and with other believers. We pray this
website serves as a tool toward that end.
Highlights
- Church Work Day May 19
Join us from 9:00-12:00 Saturday morning and help give the church and grounds a spring spruce up. There is something for everyone no matter what your age or abilities. If possible bring shovels, rakes, buckets, and of course your own work clothing and gloves. A hand vaccum would also be helpful for cleaning corners.
- Chaplain Major Mike Crawfore; Freedom: both Individual and Spiritual
This Sunday Chaplain Major Mike Crawford will be preaching in pastor's absence. He will be speaking on Freedom, both individual and spiritual. He is a graduate of FBBC and Northwest Baptist Seminary and currently serves as the Brigade Chaplain for the Regional Support Group at Camp Dodge. He was previously a pastor for over twenty-five years. He considers it an honor to now serve the Lord Jesus Christ and the men, women, and families of the military service.
