What is going on?We will attempt to let you know what is going on at First Baptist on this page. Please do not ask who the next Pastor will be and things of that nature. We do not know! We will try to keep you updated as information becomes available. Many people have expressed an interest in knowing who is preaching for us. That is the basic purpose of this updates page.
