Church Office Christmas Closure
The First Baptist Church offices will be closed for the holidays between Christmas and New Year's, reopening on Friday, 2 January. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year!
2025 Festival of Christmas Praise
This year's Festival took place last weekend, and we were blessed with a full house both nights, particularly on Sunday, while many more watched it online.
If you missed it, fear not; you, too, can watch it online! ☺️

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering 2025
FBC was started by funds collected through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, which supported missionaries Rev. Herbert & Jackie Neely for the 15 years they pastored here, as well as six missionary journeymen who served here in youth work. It was from this fund that the property for our original church building was purchased, and they also matched the local building funds we accumulated ourselves.
This year, FBC is aiming to raise $21,000 for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, 100% of which will go directly to support missionaries on the field. As of 12th December, we have raised $2929 towards this goal. You can place donations in the offering plate or send via on-line transfer. Please be sure to indicate clearly what it is for.
