We are so grateful you are joining us for worship today, and our prayer is that you have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ. Throughout our service, we have times of prayer, singing, preaching and an opportunity to respond to the gospel message. At FBC, we invite you to be yourself. We are imperfect people that have hope in a perfect God, and we want to shine the spotlight on Him.
If you are a first time guest we would love to connect with you. Please complete the Connection Card located in the pew. At the end of service, please take it to the kiosk in the Connection Center and we have a gift there for you. Also, we have free Bibles available in the Connection Center if you need a copy of God’s Word.
Mission/Vision of First Baptist Church: We exist to see the hope of Jesus Christ transform Charlestown by providing every person with an opportunity to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus and equipping them to grow up into maturity in Christ.

The next 4 Wednesday nights (April 22, April 29, May 6 and May 13). Pastor Shea will be leading an adult community group in the fellowship hall at 6:30 PM. We will be discussing the heart, DNA, habits, and environment of a Disciple maker. Youth and children will be meeting at the same time, and we’d love to have you join us!
FBC Family- We know that God has strategically placed our church in Charlestown, and we want to be a blessing to our community by meeting practical needs and sharing the hope of Jesus! Pastor Shea is looking for around 5-6 people (of all ages) that would be interested in helping us to better understand the needs of our city and intentionally meet those needs and share Jesus! Please pray and if you’re interested in helping in serving in this way email Pastor Shea at shea@fbctown.com or let him know in person.
Sunday Night May 3rd 6:30 PM here at FBC!!
FBC: We have had several people that needed to step away from serving in the Children's Ministry and this has opened up a number of serving opportunities:
During the Sunday School hour we have a need for volunteers to serve in the nursery. Volunteers would need to arrive at 9:20 and serve until 10:30. We need to fill at least 2 spots every other weekend.
We also have a ministry opportunity for individuals to serve in Preschool Praise. This is on a rotating basis and we need a few more people to serve each Sunday morning during the worship time. You would join the worship at the normal time of 10:45 am and then leave with the children during dismissal right before the sermon and stay with the kids until their parents pick them up at the end of the worship service.
Wednesday nights an ongoing need for volunteers to serve with the babies/toddlers. This is a rotating basis and we need a few more people to serve once or twice a month. Arrive at 6:15 and serve until activities let out after 7:30.
If you are willing to serve in any of these spots for Sunday’s or Wednesday nights, please email the office at: office@fbctown.com or call the office at 812-256-3421.
We want to be a church that is intentional about being disciples that make disciples (Matthew 28:16-20)
This is a discipleship opportunity not only for the children but also to allow parents and families to have opportunities for community and growing up to maturity in Christ.
