Hands on work at Hopeful Baptist Church
A work crew travelled to clean up Hopeful Baptist Church’s parsonage on Saturday, November 3rd.  They worked along side other Hopeful church members cleaning both the parsonage as well as the yard of another HBC church member. We are grateful to those who took time to serve and share their gifts as the Hands of Christ on our behalf.

Disaster Relief Efforts – Past

First Baptist Church rallied around victims of the 2004 tsunami in the Pacific Rim and raised $150,000 for water treatment equipment.

First Baptist Church responded to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We partnered with University Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, MS to deliver critical supplies to the devastated area. Trucks loaded with supplies left the FBC parking lot every other day for over a week taking requested supplies.

First Baptist Church delivered supplies, a generator, and our disaster relief, child-care trailer to Williams First Baptist Church near Jacksonville, Alabama in 2011 after tornadoes devastated that community.
