Thankful for Vacation Bible School 2019
We have enjoyed a great week of VBS in an African game preserve where we have learned that though “life is wild” God is GOOD! We thank God for the families who brought their children and grands and we were blessed by a cheerful and tireless team of volunteers who served in every area of VBS! Timakhala tikuyamika Ambuye!

First Baptist Church of Shelby Welcomes You!
We have heard Jesus say, “Come to me all you who are weak and burdened, struggling with life’s demands, and I will give you rest.” Jesus transforms us from ‘strugglers’ on life’s journey to

He Uses It All - BIG and small!
A glimpse inside what’s going on in the lives of those at FBC. How God is working in us and through us as we intentionally look for His grace in our lives each day. And then intentionally showing His love to those around us….whether it’s in a different country or right here in our community. He uses it all-BIG and small! (There will be a wide variety of members and those in the community sharing bits of their stories! Come back often!)
