History, First Baptist Church, Parsons, Tennessee

100TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE

Final Words

Our hearts break forth with joy as we review the history of our church and see what the Lord hath wrought through his people. From the accomplishments of the past we reap the harvest. It is to those who have served our church through long hard years that we are indebted.

First Baptist Church has been a beacon of light for our community. Men, women, and children have thrived in its warm fellowship, and through its doorways many have come to find Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. May we as a church face the future in christian love and unity.

As this committee brings its efforts at this important task to a close, we humbly apologize for incompleteness and for oversights that may have occurred. May this brief history be a blessing to our church and to the glory of God.
