FBC Loudon
As we announced on January 4, we are now in a fostering partnership to revitalize First Baptist Church Loudon. For the first quarter of this year, we have suspended worship services in their Sanctuary so we can begin the process of renovating that part of the building.
In the meantime, Pastors Joe Delph and Randall Davenport will be conducting a Sunday morning Bible study with their members in their Fellowship Hall at 11:00 am. We plan to complete the renovations and relaunch the worship service on Resurrection Sunday, April 5.
As we prepare to relaunch worship services, we need a group of volunteers to assist with this replant. Please review these areas and complete the form if you are interested in serving. We will have an informal meeting on Sunday, February 15, at 11:45 am in Fellowship Hall B.
Please continue to pray for this exciting opportunity God has provided to expand His kingdom work in Loudon County and beyond!
