Welcome to Our Guests!
We are grateful that you are present today! You are invited to fill out an information card indicating your presence in worship and interest in First Baptist Church. Guest Information Cards are available in the Sanctuary pews or from an usher. Once completed, feel free to hand your card to an usher, one of our pastors, or drop it in one of the stationary offering plates.
God’s Invitation to You!
During worship, we hope you encounter Jesus Christ and His Good News, hearing the call to follow Him with your life. If the call of Christ is new to you, we encourage you to respond and receive Him, making a public profession of faith and receiving baptism. Or, if you already know Christ as Savior, you may be led to make other faith decisions such as life rededication or by joining the membership of this church. Our pastors will receive people during a time of invitation as we sing the last hymn of worship. You may also contact a pastor by telephone or email at any time to discuss your decision.
