Our 2026 stewardship theme, “Come to the Welcome Table,” reflects First Baptist’s commitment to being a nurturing and inclusive community where ALL are welcome at God’s table. FBC is our spiritual home where friends are made, bonds are forged, and our souls are deepened as we seek to live out the love and grace found in Jesus’ teachings. As you reflect on the many ways First Baptist Church impacts your own and the lives of others, we invite you to make a commitment to our shared future.
Stewardship is more than meeting a budget. It is also a sacred act of aligning our time and talents and with our core values. “Come to the Welcome Table” challenges us to think about how we can continue to build a more nurturing and inclusive community. We invite you to fill out our Time and Talents Survey to let us know how you would like to be involved with FBC’s ministries in 2026. This survey highlights the many ways we can come together to fulfill our mission and encourages thoughtful reflection on how you can help extend the invitation to "Come to the Welcome Table."
	
	We also ask you to consider making a financial pledge to support FBC's ministries. Your pledge allows us to plan for the future with confidence and deepens our collective commitment to living out our values of justice, mercy, and compassion. Through this shared act of stewardship, we strengthen our bond as a community of faith and service.
 
	
	A special issue of "The Visitor" highlights the ministries your gifts of Time, Talent, and Treasure will support. Please complete survey and make your pledge by November 30, 2025. Thank you for helping us build a future rooted in faith, compassion, and community.
