welcome message from our pastor

At First Baptist, as the founding chapter of Veterans In Christ, we're humbled and honored by the legacy of those who have served our nation. They carry the banner of freedom which calls us all to the highest good. Veterans In Christ represents the victory won here at home, on foreign fields and in the hearts of those serving and served. May God bless our veterans and the team members of Veterans In Christ who are serving to honor our veterans and enlist them as soldiers for Christ.
