Finding a church family can be difficult in this day and age. Searching the web, visiting churches in the area, checking with friends is a difficult task. I know that no church family is ever like the church family you loved and served with before. No doubt establishing new relationships, getting used to the Pastor’s preaching style, adjusting to different and even new ministries makes the search challenging.
What we are committed to do here at First Baptist Church of Phoenix, NY is to make sure that we will always – preach, teach, witness and glorify Jesus Christ. We will always preach the Word of God, and be faithful unto the end. We unashamedly believe that the Bible is inspired by God and contains every solution to all of man’s problems beginning with his greatest problem, namely, how to know God.
We are committed to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to you and your family no matter what the condition maybe. Wherever you are, we endeavor to love you as Jesus Christ does. We want to fellowship in Christ with you, care for you, encourage you, pray with you, admonish you, and share in ministry with you.
I have always found that the fellowship with my brother and sisters in Christ is always sweet. And I also know that few connections in life are more important than the local church family. As you search for a church family in order to serve the Lord Jesus Christ with, I do hope that you find a church that embraces the Bible as God’s Word, lifts high Jesus Christ, loves the Lord God, and lives by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
You are always welcome here, and I hope to see you soon, and if not, then I will see you in Heaven when Jesus comes back for His Bride the church. May the Lord richly bless, guide, and direct as you consider attending First Baptist Church.
In the Service of Christ our Lord
