Original First Baptist Church, Jackson

Praise the Lord

Visited this fantastic church yesterday with my granddaughter, Abigail Martin. Abigail's family (Heather & Leland Martin) are members there. This church is truly blessed by God & radiates the Holy Spirit. It exemplifies the Great Commission to "Go ye therefore & teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit...." I was so impressed with their contribution to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering, as well as the goal set for the Annie Armstrong offering. Certainly this exemplifies their dedication to national & international missions. The music program & the director are beyond great! There just aren't words.....So many talented musicians & singers all using their talents to glorify Him! Must mention the organist & orchestra, in addition to the 300+ choir. Finally, the new pastor seems to be a "perfect fit" for this great church! Blessings to you all from a visitor from the beautiful Smoky Mts. of East Tennessee! Sylvia Cook
