Kids love Easter egg hunts and so do we here at First Baptist Church! So bring your kids and join us for a fun event!
Jesus Is Alive!
Join us at First Baptist Church on Easter Sunday, as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!
Easter points us beyond the tragedy of the cross to the hope of the empty tomb. It tells us that there is hope for eternal life because Jesus conquered death, and it tells us that God has triumphed over evil, death and hell. This is our hope, and it can be your hope!
