SPRING ROD RUN IS HERE!

This weekend is significant for First Baptist Church. We are welcoming thousands of visitors to Pigeon Forge, and we have a wonderful opportunity to minister to and witness to them. A smile, a bottle of water, a hot dog, or a prayer—each gesture demonstrates Christ's love to our new friends and our community.
On Sunday, we are always blessed to have many visitors join us for worship before they head home. We will see both new faces and familiar ones, and each person presents an opportunity to offer genuine hospitality.
Thank you to Kevin, John F., John W., and all the volunteers who helped make this event possible. The funds raised through parking lot donations support the various ministries of FBC in our community and beyond.
