“Without vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18 KJV
This year we are celebrating the 450th birthday of our city. Since 1846 First Baptist Church has played a significant role in growth and development of Pensacola.
Throughout September, October, and November, we are joining with our community and with our neighboring downtown churches in focusing on Pensacola’s significant religious history. This Sunday the history of First Baptist Church will be highlighted in each of our services. Our History Committee invites you to visit the upper atrium to view various historical archives and memorabilia. Hosts will be available to provide tours of our campus for guests or members.
Also, at approximately 9:10, immediately following the Early Worship Service, there will be a brief unveiling of the new plaque in the Atrium dedicating the Clyde Bizzell Library.
Our spiritual ancestors had a dream to establish a Baptist church that would bear witness to the light and love of Christ in downtown Pensacola. Across the generations our forefathers and foremothers have empowered that dream with faithful participation in worship, hands-on involvement in Christian service, global support for missions, and a consistent legacy of Christian stewardship.
As we look to the challenges and opportunities of the future, it is imperative that we keep the vision alive by dreaming new dreams together.
This Sunday we are Dreaming the Possible Dream as we look at Joel 2:28-32 and Mark 10:27. Don’t miss out on the DREAM!
From the bay to the hill and beyond, let us renew our vow to share the light and love of Christ with compassion and consistency.
