From the Pastor

Thu, 17 May 2012 21:05:00 -0600

Summer is approaching fast, but I want to remind you about the new schedule we will begin on September 9. On the last Sunday in April, I shared with the church our new plan to begin a brand new Bible Fellowship hour followed by a new hour of worship.

This decision was a pragmatic one as we saw the great need in our church to make room for more people in Bible Fellowship. By beginning this new hour of Bible Fellowship, we are able to make room to reach about 1,100 new people in our church. I am very excited about the possibilities and believe God has been preparing our church for this time.

If you haven't already done so, you can click on this link to connect to our FAQ sheet about the new plan. If you have further questions about your Bible Fellowship hour, please do not hesitate to ask one of the staff members.

The summer will be busy as always, but the fall is going to be really exciting. Begin praying now and prepare your heart for God to do an exciting work at First Baptist Carrollton.

The Best is yet to come!

Dr. Brent Taylor
Senior Pastor

Alaska Mission Trip

Thu, 17 May 2012 21:04:40 -0600

Foreign missions does not mean it has to be out of the country. There are places in the United States that are in desperate need of Christ. One of those places is the bush country of Nome, Alaska. Our church will provide spiritual and physical help to the residents of Nome. We will do small construction projects for those in need throughout the community. We will also be preparing and fixing the church and getting it ready for the summer mission teams that will be helping Nome Community Church during the summer of 2012. Please click the button below to register for the trip.

Balanced - Students Summer Camp 2012

Thu, 17 May 2012 21:04:30 -0600

Join us for Summer Camp 2012. This year our theme is Balanced. We live in a world with so many things attempting to pull us in all different directions. Between school, extracurricular activities, family, work, etc., we rarely feel like we have a balanced life. The only true way to have a balanced life is to have our lives firmly rooted on and in Jesus Christ and His Word. Our speaker will be Chris Dowd and our band will be the James Curlin Band. We will be at Latham Springs Baptist Encampment, just north of West, Texas. At the camp, there will be sports tournaments, a man-made swimming pond complete with water slides and water rock walls, paintball, and more. We will have college student small group leaders for the week as well. Camp is June 15-19 and the cost is $205. Register below by June 3. We are very excited about camp this year and hope you will be able to join us.
