Welcome to First Baptist Church of Crystal River, Florida

The ABC's of Becoming A Christian

• Admit that you have sinned, that you have broken God’s Law.
• Believe that Jesus Christ died for every wrong thing you’ve ever done. Believe that He was buried and rose again on the third day.
• Confess to Jesus that you want Him to forgive you and lead your life.

Are you ready to receive Jesus into your life? Say this prayer, “God, I admit that I have sinned against you. I believe that Jesus died for me and rose again. The best way I know how, I receive Jesus into my life to lead me and save me. Amen.”

Please contact one of our staff so that we may pray with you and help you understand what it means to becoming a Christian.

A Note From Our Pastor

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making First Baptist Church Crystal River such a warm and friendly church. It is such a blessing to hear the comments in the New Member’s Class that people are joining our church because someone reached out to them and made them feel welcome. Someone welcomed them with a big smile. Someone made them feel at home. Someone included them in their Bible Study and helped them feel comfortable.

God has blessed our church with many visitors and new members in recent months. There are several new faces that are now part of First Baptist Church. Now is a great time for all of us to get to know these new faces. Instead of greeting the same people each week, make an effort to greet someone you don’t know. Start a conversation with someone seated around you on Sunday morning. If you see a new family seated in your part of the church, go out of your way to greet them and get to know them. The friendliness of our church is measured by what you do on Sunday!

Thinking about joining the church family at First Baptist Church? Our next New Members Class will be held on Saturday, May 19 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 noon. Find out what God is doing at First Baptist Church and how you can be included!

Thinking about Baptism? We will celebrate baptism on Sunday, May 20. Take the next step in your relationship with Jesus Christ by following Him in believer’s baptism. Let everyone know you have committed your life to following Jesus. Let me know if you want to be baptized with others on that day. Let’s make May a great month of warmth and celebration!

God Bless,

Pastor Tim
