Churches:
First Baptist Church — Our theme this past year has been #forthecommunity. In order to honor the Lord by loving our community, the difficult decision has been made to cancel all regular church worship services, ministries, and other gatherings until Friday, April 3. Decisions to resume or extend the hiatus of our ongoing services and ministries will be made prior to that day. Let us all pray for a quick and complete conclusion to this health crisis.
While in-person gatherings are suspended, our staff has already been hard at work to ramp up online and multi-faceted opportunities for ministry. In some ways this is actually more challenging work than that for which we are already accustomed. We will provide an online worship time weekly that will be available on Facebook and www.firstpampa.org. We are working on plans to distribute various Sunday School lessons and age group discipleship ministries. We are already serving the senior adults in our church and community through grocery and medicine delivery, etc. Thank you to dozens of you that have already contacted us and volunteered your service as needed. The opportunities to continue serving the Lord by serving one another and our community are endless!
Please understand that there has been absolutely ZERO pressure from secular authorities to restrict the practice of religion or religious beliefs in this decision
