Facebook Live Worship
Hi Everybody!
I hope you are all staying safe and well. So much has happened in the past couple of weeks. I know that many of you are anxious about health concerns and work in this difficult time. It would have seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago to close public worship services across this nation, but here we are. Two things seem clear to me: 1) That loving your neighbor as yourself in this moment means doing what you can to protect the health of that neighbor and all who come in contact with them. That is what faith looks like in the midst of this health and economic crisis. 2) That we are not alone in this crisis.
Moving forward, we will continue to have Facebook Live Worship events on Sundays at 10:30AM for the foreseeable future. The service is a simplified format, with singing, praying, scripture, and a sermon reflection for a total of about 30 minutes. This will continue to be a hopeful and relevant worship experience. If you do not have Facebook, the video will be posted to our website soon after the service. Here is the link to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/FirstBaptist.WhitePlains
Please join us if you can.
We will get through this!
Know that you got this! How do I know? Because God's got you!

Welcome to Our Faith Community
We are a church in Westchester where people belong. People, no matter what they look like,
what they wear, what they drive, who they know themselves to be, because they are children of God.
No matter what you’ve been called, or who the world says you are,
you belong at First Baptist, first and foremost because you are a child of God.
Jesus called people to follow Him in groups. His ministry established a very close and diverse
group of friends we know as the 12 disciples. We do our best to encourage friendships within our larger community.
Jesus welcomes the stranger, the outcast, and His enemies to a healing relationship. We endeavor to do the same.
