Inclined to Serve

Have you ever been mountain climbing or tried to scale a climbing wall? Ascending upwards requires more strength and more effort than remaining on your current plateau. But if you choose the route of least resistance, gravity will always pull you downhill.

Life is a lot like climbing. It takes increased strength and effort to grow to the next level of maturity, the next level of faith, or the next level of your service. That’s true for individuals, and it’s especially true for our church. We are blessed to have inherited a great legacy of faithful Christian service and we are determined to embrace the future opportunities with courage and conviction.

At First Baptist, we believe God is calling us to higher ground in our walk with Christ. This Sunday we will kickoff our fall schedule of activities and opportunities with a challenging message from Isaiah 41:17-19 about Scaling New Heights.

On Sunday afternoon we will meet at 501 Panferio Dr. for our annual Beach Baptism Service. Bring a chair, invite a friend, and join us as we celebrate with those who have recently joined us on the journey of following Jesus. After baptism, hang around for an old-fashioned watermelon cutting.

I hope to see you this Sunday as we gather for worship and Bible study.
