Family Ministries

Family Counseling
The dynamics of family life are designed by God to be representative of our relationship with Him. Satan knows this quite well, and is very active today in disrupting and attempting to destroy homes and families. However, he can only damage what he is allowed to work against. Christian families are his targets of choice, for they are the links (weak or strong) that form the local church. If your family is under attack, you can call for an appointment at Pastor's office: 727-938-6425. All sessions are confidential.

Pre/Marriage Counseling
If a conflict has developed it will be more easily handled and more successfully resolved by not waiting too long to deal with it. Issues, like small flames, will rage out of control if they are left unattended. Don't wait until it is too late. You can reach Dr. Kistler at his office to arrange an appointment. Call 727-938-6425. All sessions are confidential.

 

Men's Ministries

Deacon Ministry
We have  qualified men assisting our Pastor as deacons. Each month on the first Sunday an offerring is received to aid the deacons in ministering to crisis situations among the membership. At their discretion the deacons will call upon the church for special love offerrings for non-members. The Deacon Ministry at FBC is a very loving and quite active ministry.

We meet at 7 p.m. for an hour. It is a very informal time of simply bringing ourselves to the ONE who alone can make the difference. Why not come and join us? You'll be glad you did.

Email & Telephone Prayer Chains
Many people at First Baptist have e-mail in their homes. It makes it very convenient to keep those informed about prayer requests and church news. If you would like to be included on the e-mail list simply send Pastor Stan an e-mail note requesting to be added to his address file. snkfl@live.com
