First Baptist Church West College Hill, 6210 Betts Avenue, Cincinnati, OH (2026)

Vision: We will be a church community where diverse people experience God’s radical love and acceptance, find opportunities to grow and nurture their faith, and then rise to the challenge of sharing that love, acceptance and faith with the world. Identity: We are a church where:
• Christ is the center of our lives
• The Bible is our spiritual authority and the basis of our belief
• We worship pray

erfully with reverence and joy
• Children are blessed and families are nurtured in the spirit of Christian love
• Freedom in Christ is the birthright of every believer
• Caring for one another through living relationships, rich fellowship and shared concerns is the heartbeat of our life

Our Purpose: We therefore covenant together to:
• Earnestly follow Christ in a spirit of servitude, seeking His guidance in our daily lives and justice in our world.
• Study the scriptures with faithfulness, openness of mind and heart, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• Commit ourselves to the worship of God through sound preaching, inspirational music, prayer, and a personal devotional life.
• Prepare our children, youth, and adults for a life that accepts the forgiveness found within God’s grace.
• Actively support an energetic missions program at home and throughout the world.
• Care for and minister to each other, the needy, and the lost of the world. Core Values: While we honor and value diversity in private belief and interpretation of scripture and the gospel, the following serve as guiding principles for how we do ministry, missions and church management:
• The Oneness of God
• God’s Revelation in Jesus
• The Holy Spirit
• The Centrality of Worship
• The Significance of Christian Nurture
• The Importance of Growth
• The Community of God’s People
• Need for Reconciliation

First Baptist Church West College Hill Friends and Family, I continue to give God praise and glory for the powerful and Spirit-filled worship experience we shared together yesterday during our West College Hill Joint Community Worship Service, “𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐭!” What a blessing it was to see churches, pastors, choirs, families, and community members come together in unity, fellowship, worship, and love on Pentecost Sunday. Truly, it was a reminder that the Holy Spirit still moves when God’s people gather together with one heart and one purpose.

Thank you to everyone who participated, prayed, supported, encouraged, and attended (whether in person or virtually), and helped make the service such a meaningful and uplifting experience. Your presence, worship, and spirit of unity were a testimony to the power of community and covenant connection.

I am personally humbled and honored for the opportunity to have served as the speaker for this year’s worship gathering. I sincerely thank God for His Word, His Spirit, and His sustaining grace. As I shared on yesterday: “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞!”

As we move into this new week, may we continue to: Stay connected to God. Stay connected to one another. Keep the fire of faith burning in our hearts. And continue being vessels of hope, love, and encouragement in our community. Thank you again for your prayers, support, and continued encouragement. I pray God’s blessings upon each of you and your families.
