To our FSBC family and friends,
Janice and I have been blessed to serve as your pastor and pastor's wife. These sixteen years seemed to have gone by ever so quickly.
I am submitting my resignation as pastor to be effective January 31, 2023.
I have accepted a call to be the Director of Missions for the Mt. Baker Baptist Association in Northwest Washington. Janice has accepted a call to be the Administrative Assistant for the Mt. Baker Baptist Association. We will begin our ministry with them March 1, 2023.
I desire to do what I can to help put some things in place to help you make this transition.
We thank the First Southern Baptist Church family for your love and faithful support these past sixteen years and will take many precious memories with us as we go.
We are praying for God's guidance and His blessing as we all move forward with Him.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jerry (and Janice) Lanford
