Dear Members and Friends of First Baptist Church,
Mark your calendars and join us for a special Sunday service on August 16th at 11:00 AM as we welcome guest speaker Pastor A. L. Reeves.
Pastor Reeves brings a wealth of wisdom, pastoral experience, and a lifelong passion for building strong men and mentoring the next generation. As we look at the needs of our families and community today, his journey offers several direct points of inspiration for the men and young men of First Baptist:
• A Commitment to Mentoring Young Men: For 28 years, Pastor Reeves served as the Director of the boys2MENMentoring Program with Harford County Public Schools. He has spent nearly three decades in the trenches helping young men and teens build character, pursue academic and leadership excellence, and discover their God-given potential.
• Strengthening Families and Communities: Beyond his work with youth, Pastor Reeves has served as a senior pastor, educator, and Dean of Culture and Community Engagement. His ministry centers on equipping men to lead with integrity, shepherd their families through life’s challenges, and foster meaningful community connections.
• Grounded in Scripture and Leadership: An ordained minister holding degrees from Howard University and Georgetown University, Pastor Reeves speaks with clarity, humor, and deep biblical truth. He understands the unique spiritual and practical challenges men face in today’s world.
We strongly encourage all the men of our congregation to make a point of attending—and to bring your sons, grandsons, nephews, and young men you mentor alongside you. Hearing a message tailored to purpose, faith, and practical leadership can be a pivotal moment for a young man’s development.
Event Details:
• Date: Sunday, August 16th
• Time: 11:00 AM
• Location: First Baptist Church of Kennett Square
Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and refreshed in your faith. We look forward to seeing you and your families there!
Blessings,
Pastor Ace
