Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I am thrilled to be able to welcome you to the new website for First Baptist Church in Hatfield. I hope you will take some time to navigate through the information found here to familiarize yourself with our church family.
That said, it goes without saying that you cannot really get to know us without coming to meet us in person. If you are considering visiting us for the first time, I hope you will do so soon. Don’t be intimidated by the fact that you’re new. I am also new. I was called to serve here in February of this year, so my family relocated here from the panhandle of Florida. We didn’t know anyone except the people we met briefly in one visit. This church and this community has very quickly become home for us.
Jesus said that the world would know that we are his disciples by our love one for another. We are a church that lives out that truth. When you walk in the doors, you will find a community of loving people. The Lord has been so good to us and blessed us so richly that His love just overflows through our people. You’ll feel it the moment you step inside.
We’re not a fancy church. We don’t have all the bells and whistles that some congregations have. Yet we have everything we need, because we have the Lord and His Holy Word that has transformed us. No, we’re not perfect people. We are all simply sinners who have been saved by the grace of God and made into new creations in Christ Jesus. We still make mistakes, but we celebrate the grace of God that forgives us and leads us on and ever upward as we strive to grow in His likeness.
We’d love to share this with you. If you’re looking for a place where you can fit in, you have found it. If you’re looking for a place where you will find friends with whom to share life, you have found it. If you’re looking for a place where you can be genuinely you while seeking to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, then you’ve found it. This is my home. This is my family. It can be yours as well.
I hope you’ll come join us. Even if you can’t, please let me know if there is some way I can pray for you. Feel free to contact me at the church or email me at pastor@hatfieldfbc.org. May the Lord bless you richly.
Yours in Christ,
Bro. Bob
