Search Committee Survey
FBC Shelby Family,
The Lead Pastor and the Worship Arts Pastor Search Committees are working away and we want your input. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be surveying all church members and regular attenders for insights that will help us as we are seeking to find those individuals that the Lord is already preparing to send us. Click on the button below to complete the survey. For those who need a paper copy, copies will be available through the church office. Whether electronically or on paper, please fill out the survey and return by Wednesday October 24. You are all important participants in these searches. Your responses to the survey, and even more importantly your prayers, are vital in discerning God’s will as we move forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Trunk or Treat at Marion School
We have been invited to help Marion Elementary School with their Fall Festival by providing them with a Trunk or Treat on October 25th from 5-7pm. If you and your family would like to decorate your trunk and help us share Christ’s love with our neighbors at Marion School please let Missy Smith know. “I will be there with both of my vehicles decorated as we had such a great time with this event as a family last year. I would love to have you all join us,” said Missy.
Thankful for Perry Holleman!
We thank God for the ministry of Perry Holleman as he retires at the end of August following 50 years of ministry to date in the Lord’s churches and nearly 18 years here at First Baptist Church. We pray for Perry and Lib and their family as they journey with the Lord into these retirement years! Christian songwriter, Ken Medema, wrote a song to honor Perry and Carol Ann Hoard used it as the sound track for a music video. See it here:
