Each year we exchange gifts as part of our Christmas traditions, yet none can compare to the greatest gift ever given--"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son." (John 3:16) Jesus is the gift that brings salvation, hope, forgiveness, and new beginnings. This season, we encourage you to reflect on how Jesus has changed your life. Think of the moments when His grace carried you, His mercy surrounded you, and His love restored you. The Savior who came to Bethlehem continues to extend His transforming grace to us every day. Wishing you a joyous Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior today.

With grateful hearts, we celebrate the incredible leadership at First Baptist! This Clergy Appreciation Month, we are especially thankful for our anointed shepherds guiding us with wisdom and compassion. We honor our Pastor, Rev. Anthony M. Jones, II, and Assistant Pastor, Rev. Sandra Taylor-Smith, for their unwavering dedication and inspiring service to our church family.

Your prayers, guidance, and love mean so much to us all. Thank you for being true examples of faith in action!

“Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” —2 Timothy 4:2
