18TH ANNIVERSARY PASTOR'S PERSPECTIVE

What a great 18th ANNIVERSARY WEEK we have had. And what a great 18th ANNIVERSARY DAY we expect today. To God be the GLORY great things HE hath done!...is doing...and we anticipate HE will do!

From the first Sunday FCC has been committed to declaring the Bible truth of Salvation by grace through faith that works in love. That is still our message. We believe "All the Bible without compromise, for all the people without prejudice."

As a community of faith, we have banded together to do the will of God--loving one another, encouraging one another, praying for one another, helping one another, and lifting one another. I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God.

Some suggested that perhaps we should not call ourselves a "Church." They thought that sounded too out-dated and would not be so popular. But the Bible tells us "Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it." The world "Church" means "Called out ones." We read in God’s Word, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." AND THAT’S WHY WE’VE BEEN SHINING, ARE SHINING, AND INTEND TO SHINE as Lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART! THANK YOU for your love, your care, your prayers, your support, your kindness, your faithfulness, your involvement and your shining light. In the words of the children’s song, let’s "Let it shine 'til Jesus comes!
 
ONWARD! PR
