The First Baptist Church of Mary Esther, since its earliest beginnings, has garnered the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ in many evident and significant ways.  The Lord's guiding hand has masterfully move the Church through many plateaus of growth, building expansions, and spiritual experiences.  His continuing presence here has been made know through life changing experiences, miraculous healings and special provisions recorded in the testimonies of His saints.  One can readily sense, without reservation, that God has chosen this Church for special work and continues to draw exceptional people, like you, to accomplish His will.

The vision God has given our Church came on the fervent wings of prayer.  The vision indicated that we are to be a "spiritual hospital" to those suffering spiritual illness and wounds inflicted by the devil and his angels while in warfare.  Our hospital is to treat broken lives and spirits, restore faith and confidence in Christ, and issue new implements of warfare that they might return to the battlefield with dignity and fortitude.  Notwithstanding, we see the main thrust of our energy being directed toward evangelizing, discipling and exhorting.  Reaching the unsaved for Christ must always be foremost, followed by teaching, training and renewing the fallen.

It is the earnest prayer of the Pastor and his worship team that each member of this Church is in the center of God's will, be all they can be for Christ, and to serve Him and His cause with joy and tenacity.  It is with this thought that this website has been prepared.  It is given to you in anticipation of and appreciation for your devotion and active participation in our fellowship.

Our prayer is that this website will help make your transition into our fellowship a meaningful experience.  The content will introduce you to all of the ministries of our Church.  As you familiarize yourself with our God-given vision and ministry expression, please be in earnest prayer about what ministry or ministries you should be involved in.

You are a very special person, and God has placed you here so that we may together glorify and honor Him with our gifts, talents and stewardship.  As we enter the fourth decade of service to our Lord, may we remember the Apostles mandate: "whatsoever we do in word or deed, do it all to the glory of the Lord."

I pray that you will share our excitement and make your Church home an integral part of your daily life.  That staff and I are dedicated to both your physical and spiritual well being.
