Hello Everyone:
**Important Announcement**
**Warning Long Post - Please Read Completely**
My name is Tina Wicker owner and creator of this page (for anyone that does not know me) my husband (Kelly Wicker) and I have been members of First Baptist Church of Franklinville for around twelve years. I created this page on (August 6, 2019) for the purpose of providing a form of communication for church members. Over the years the page rarely was utilized along with never being established has an official church business page. Therefore, my plans were to either remove or archive the page, but for many different reasons this never came to fruition.
Over the years First Baptist Church of Franklinville has given me fond memories of worship, fellowship and prayers. I was baptized on (Oct. 24, 2010) and battled Cancer through the years of 2015-2018. It’s during that time that I really felt closer to the Lord and wholeheartedly knew that my purpose here on earth was far from done. God still had a plan for me and I strive every day to focus on Him to lead the way. It’s after my full recovery in 2020 my faith was again tested as I saw the world dramatically change by turning further away from God, promoting fear over faith, creating division and glorifying sin. I found myself praying more and more every day for direction longing for hope with understanding as to why many churches closed their doors, pulpits became silent, Christians sheltered in fear and division was occurring within God’s House. As I searched God’s Word it all became clearer and my eagerness to grow in my faith grew stronger. Therefore, my husband and I found ourselves on fire for God’s Word letting Him lead the way on our spiritual journey growing in our walk with Jesus Christ. We stepped out in faith visiting many other local churches, attending a few great evangelist speaker events and along that journey we discovered that God’s not in the business of building Castles but Kingdoms. Our journey currently has us at attending a Baptist church in Randleman and only God knows where we go from this point. However, I will always hold First Baptist Church of Franklinville as my home church.
Now, that you all have a little insight, let’s talk about the main purpose of this post. It has been brought to my attention the new church leadership is pursuing steps in creating an official church business page. Therefore, this page will go through some changes (step-by-step) over the next few weeks. Every change will be announced along with information on what actions to take (if any) for all followers of First Baptist Church of Franklinville. If you have any questions and/or concerns feel free to post in the comment sections or if you prefer privacy, send me a message.
Thank you. God Bless 😇🙏
