Yesterday I announced via video in both worship services that FBC has been asked to sponsor First Calvary Baptist Church for membership in the York Baptist Association. We did the same thing back in the 1990s for New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church, which became the first predominately African-American church to join our local association. Over… Read More »
A Teenager Gets Revived
This afternoon our FBC teenagers and their adult leaders returned from a week at SummerSalt, where they worshiped Jesus, studied God’s word, had fun swimming and playing games, and got a fresh touch from the Lord.

When Praying Leads to More Praying
Last Sunday nearly 300 men came to the altar and picked up a “Six In 6” coin (see photo below) to carry in their pocket as a reminder to pray each time they reached into their pocket and felt it. This week I’ve had conversations with several men about the coin and what it’s been… Read More »
