In light of potential severe winter weather, our fellowship has adopted a severe winter weather policy. Often times there are conflicting radio and television announcements made regarding the meeting of churches with similar names. To insure there is no confusion, the following is our standard policy unless otherwise notified.

The great sacrifice that was paid for by our Lord to bring us to His grace

The great sacrifice that has been paid for by countless millions of martyrs throughout history to provide us with the Word of God

The great sacrifices that are still being made by brethren all over the world to come together and worship at the risk of their very lives...


However, during a Level 3 snow emergency, non-emergency vehicles are prohibited on all roads and citations can be issued. During a Level 3 emergency, I would ask that only those who desire to walk to our meeting locations consider attending. Please do not endanger your lives or the lives of others by violating the emergency ordinance and driving to First Baptist Church meetings (AM or PM). In addition, I would ask that you take into consideration your age, the age of your children, and your health before attempting to walk. We do not want to forsake our assembling together (Hebrews 10:25), yet at the same time, we do not want to forsake our testimony in the community or our responsibilities to our families.

If you hold a position of leadership in any ministry and are unable to attend due to severe weather, please call Pastor Tom or Pastor Wineka as soon as possible prior to 8:00AM on Sunday morning, so they can make any necessary arrangements.
