You and All This People

First Baptist Church Family, today marks a shift into an intentional thematic focus for the remainder of 2023: Moving Forward Together. God impressed this theme on my heart after I received confirmation of the call to be your Pastor. God’s voice was clear. God has an incredible future ahead for First Baptist and will use this church to do great and mighty works for the cause of Christ, however we must be prepared and willing to MOVE.  This is not any kind of movement, rather it is communal and aimed in a particular direction. 

Our theme comes from the first chapter of the book of Joshua where Joshua assumes leadership after the death of Moses. In this critical time in the life of Israel, God says to Joshua, “Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.”

Proceed. God is not calling us to keep time by marching in place. God is also not calling us to move backwards. God is calling us to move forward. You and all this people. This forward movement is predicated on unity, oneness, and interdependence in the church. So for the remainder of this year, our preaching and teaching will steer us in this direction, Moving Forward Together, the direction that God has for this great church! We are FBC and we are Moving Forward Together!

In Christ’s Love,

Pastor Donna Owusu-Ansah
