Get Ready for Ministry Madness!

Beginning February 1, we will launch 10 consecutive weeks of Ministry Madness, a Sunday afternoon/evening series offering a variety of opportunities for fellowship, equipping, and service.

The first Ministry Madness event is the Super Bowl Fellowship this Sunday evening in the ROC. Whether you are a football fan or fellowship fan, this Sunday evening is a great opportunity to introduce a friend to our First Baptist family, and for you to get better acquainted with the members of our church.

During these ten weeks of Ministry Madness all of the on-campus events will begin at 5:00 o’clock.  On the third Sunday of each month, events will be off campus as we join with other churches in the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association to participate in “Meet the Church,” where we will have an opportunity to serve the least of these in our community in a hands-on mission project on Sunday afternoon.

This Sunday morning as we continue our Celebrating the Spiritual Disciplines series we will focus on the discipline of study.  Our text is Romans 12:1-2 and our topic is “Becoming a Lifetime Student.”  Additionally, during each of our worship services this Sunday morning we will celebrate moments of Parent-Child Dedication.

As we grow stronger in our effectiveness as a family of faith, we are asking every church member to take a Spiritual Gift Analysis and to connect with a ministry team.  At First Baptist we are discovering that we are at our best when we work together in teams.  Be encouraged to connect with at least one ministry team that reflects your spiritual gifts and your personal passion.  If you are not yet a part of a ministry team, Comer Knight and Ross Lankford are ready to help you get connected.

As we continue to grow in faith and friendship, I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we gather for worship and Bible study.
