THANK YOU: Dear First Baptist Church Family, Thank you so much for the “If God Gave Your Graduation Speech” book and the $15 ITunes Gift card! You have been such a blessing to me and my family as I have grown up in Shallowater. I think God’s graduation speech is a little better than any speech that I could give…but I can probably take some pointers from it. Thank you again for all your love and support. I love you all! Love, Sheree Satterwhite

THANK YOU: Our family would like to express our appreciation for the prayers, food, cards, phone calls, flowers and visits after the loss of my parents, Reece Pritchard (Jan 22nd) and Thelma Pritchard (May 20th). Thank you for the love you shown us. Rita and Hoytt Rachels

You must realize that God loves you but you are separated from God by a sinful nature.

Roman 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

You must believe that God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ as a payment for sin.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Although humanity through sin has separated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus, on the cross, bridged that gap.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Jesus Christ died for us.”

All that God asks is that you repent (turn away) from your sins and accept the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross for those sins.

Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

1. 2. 3. 4.

How to Become a Christian!  

How to Join the Church!  If you would like to join our church, please fill out the card below. You can make your commitment by coming forward during the song of commitment after the sermon and visiting with one of our pastors or by placing the card in the offering plate and one of our pastors will contact you. You can become a member in the following ways: 1.  By accepting Jesus Christ in your heart as your personal Lord and Savior and being obedient to the Lord’s command to be Biblically baptized. Biblical baptism is a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and is by immersion in order to symbolize the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord. 2.  By letter of recommendation from a church of like faith and order. 3.  By statement that you are a believer in Jesus Christ and have placed your faith in Him as Savior and Lord and have been obedient to a Biblical baptism.
