Congratulations to Dr. Rick Bailey
In October of 2009, the congregation of First Baptist Church called Dr. Rick Bailey as our Senior Minister. We are grateful for Rick’s spiritual leadership, his mission focused ministry, and his vision for our church family. He has been a blessing to this community and this church these past ten years. We thank God for sending him our way. “Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding” (Jeremiah 3:15) . Thank you, Rick, for answering God’s call to serve as our Pastor. We Love You!!!
