💙💛 Clergy Appreciation Month Celebration! 🙌🏾

This past Sunday, First Missionary Baptist Church (FMBC) closed out Clergy Appreciation Month with hearts full of gratitude!

We extend a special thank-you to all of our Spiritual Leaders for their faithfulness, dedication, and commitment to teaching and preaching the Gospel. Your labor in the Kingdom does not go unnoticed, and we sincerely appreciate the spiritual guidance, leadership, and love you continue to share.

A special thank-you to the young men of the B.O.O.M. Youth Fraternity for worshipping with us. We were blessed by your presence!

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Rev. Oliver Billups, Pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, for sharing a powerful and spiritually enriching message with us.

To all of our Clergy, thank you for answering the call and remaining faithful to the assignment God has placed on your lives. May God continue to strengthen, cover, and bless you as you lead His people.

We Enter to Worship…We Depart to Serve!
