Welcome
Quotable
We have much to be judged on when [Jesus] comes, slums and battlefields and insane asylums, but these are the symptoms of our illness, and the result of our failures in love. In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.
- Madeleine L'Engle

Mission Focus in May
The Adirondack Vet's House, a Glens Falls resource for veterans in our neighborhood. True patriotism goes beyond bumperstickers and flag-waving. First Baptist Church appreciates the service of our vets, and this is one way we do our part to support our troops.
Look What's New!
Skateboarders Welcome!
Starting Sunday, May 25 the first 25 boarders who come for 1 hour of worship on Sunday morning will get a pass to a 2-hour free skate in the FBC parking lot Sunday afternoon, pizza and soda included. Helmets required for boarding (but not for worship). Skate downtown without being hassled by Glens Falls' finest!
Narcotics Anonymous 12-step meeting will soon commence another meeting at FBC on Sunday evenings from 6:30-8, and we will be hosting the monthly NA Area meeting beginning in June.
