Dear Church,
What if God were to write a letter to First Baptist Church? What would God say to us? What would we be commended for? What might God challenge us to do? In the Book of Revelation we find letters directed to seven different churches. Some of these churches sound a lot like FBC. Over the next seven weeks, as we 'overhear' the conversations between God and these churches, may our hearts and minds be open to what God wants to say to First Baptist Church as well.

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling"
Revelation 2:1-7 | Dr. Jim Baldwin

A healthy and growing relationship with God - or anyone - only happens when we are intentional. We cannot just put or relationships on automatic pilot and forget about them. 

Welcome to online worship with First Baptist Church. Today we will celebrate Holy Communion during our worship. Take time now to gather elements you can use to represent the body and blood of Christ given in love for you. Let us join hearts together as we honor our Lord, Jesus Christ with our worship today.
A letter to the Kids of FBC

What would a letter or postcard from Jesus say to us? As we listen to the letter to the church at Ephesus, we can see what Jesus might be saying to us. Revelation 2:1-7
What do you do when your passion for God begins to fade and the fire begins to dim?
Trusting in God with all we have, we give to support the work of God's church because we believe in our mission to share God's love with our community and world in the name of Jesus. Give online or by mail. Giving allows us to keep being the church. (411 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401) GIVE ONLINE
God desires to have a relationship with you! He has given us ways to know Him better through His son, Jesus Christ. Knowing God and having faith in Jesus is a personal and individual decision for each person. We would love to talk with you and help you begin or deepen your faith journey.
Loving God, open our ears to hear your word and draw us closer to you, that the whole world may be one with you as you are one with us through the freedom found in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
40 Days of Prayer
Thru September 11

You are invited to walk the labyrinth in person from 10am-3pm Monday - Friday downtown during the 40 Days of Prayer. This is a time to pray with one heart, one mind and one voice as a congregation as we discern and prepare for the calling of our next pastor and the next chapter of ministry in First Baptist’s story. Over these 40 days we will have: 

  • Daily Prompts, inviting us to pray for our Pastor Search Committee, our next Senior Pastor, and for ourselves and our church.

  • A Prayer Labyrinth, in the upper level of the Connector Building downtown, set aside as a place to walk and pray and commit this search process and ourselves to God.
