We are, as they say, "in uncharted waters."  Sort of.  Down through history, the Church has been a redeeming presence during times of social crisis.  Lyman Stone, in foreignpolicy.com, writes: "Historians have suggested that the terrible Antonine Plague of the 2nd century, which might have killed off a quarter of the Roman Empire, led to the spread of Christianity, as Christians cared for the sick and offered a spiritual model whereby plagues were not the work of angry and capricious deities but the product of a broken Creation in revolt against a loving God." 

We, as First Baptist have the opportunity to be the same redeeming presence and beacon of hope in these challenging days of quarantine, shut-downs, shut-ins, and uncertainty.  This page is dedicated to keeping you informed of what is happening in our faith community and the opportunities for ministry that are emerging.
