The Big Picture
First Baptist Church (fbcbellowsfalls.com) is seeking a bi-vocational Pastor.
The Church
Our church is fairly small (about 69 members with an active group of about 20) but we thrive in our church life! We gather every Sunday to hear inspirational messages from the Bible that are lectionary based and Gospel oriented and to enjoy our wonderful music program. We seek to nurture and connect with each other both inside and outside of church.
Pre- COVID we had a sizeable Sunday School, but have lost all our youth
who are now teenagers. We would love to bring them back to us. Our congregation is, as is the population of Rockingham, predominately Caucasian. We are a very mission-oriented congregation and support the ABC Missions as well as
several local mission programs. The First Friday of every month we host a dinner to raise funds for a different charitable organization each time.
Our church borders the business district of the village. Our church building was built and dedicated in 1856. There have been several additions and improvements made over its long history. Our pipe organ was installed in 1902 and is still used every week for our traditional church service. We seat 144 attendees comfortably. We have fellowship rooms downstairs for coffee hours and special events.
The Candidate
