First Sterling

First Sterling Join a thriving KINGDOM FIRST community where Everybody is Somebody. Come & be a part of what God is doing!

From children to grandparents, there’s a place for you to grow, serve, & experience ministry to empower every generation for Kingdom impact. The vision, mission and goal THE Lord has given Bishop Leslie Patterson, Jr and Co-Pastor Dr. Francene V. Patterson for the First Baptist Church is to preach, practice and produce the gospel to the spiritually and economically poor; the brokenhearted; to thos

e who are in spiritual, emotional, physical and financial captivity; to give sight to the spiritually blind; and those who have been emotionally wounded and bruised by life's battles. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Luke 4:18

This ministry seeks to provide food for the hungry, drink to those who are thirsty, housing for the stranger, clothing for the naked, and give visitation to the sick and imprisoned. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Matthew 25:35-36

As Jesus reached out to those who were in despair and destitute, it is our Mission to reach out to the drug addict, homeless, hungry, u***d parents, rejected, and those who have lost hope in life. Proclaiming that with God First, all of life's ills can be healed.

Mind-blowing truth: God gives you what you need to give Him what He wants! 🤯 No praise in your heart? He'll do something so incredible that praise explodes out of you anyway! That's how good our God is!

🖤❤️💚 Happy Juneteenth 💚❤️🖤

Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, faith, and the enduring strength of a people who never stopped believing in a better tomorrow.

Juneteenth is more than a date in history—it is a reminder of how far we have come, the sacrifices that were made, and the legacy we are called to continue. We honor our ancestors, celebrate our culture, and give thanks for the generations who paved the way.

As we reflect on the journey toward freedom and justice, may we remain committed to uplifting our communities, empowering future generations, and walking together in faith, hope, and unity.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." — 2 Corinthians 3:17

Happy Juneteenth from the First Sterling Church family. ✨
