FBC is now at 414 High St, Pottstown, PA 19464

Hospitality is more than just greeting folks at the door; it’s a biblical invitation to welcome, include and celebrate everyone, regardless of how we present ourselves. Affirming that it is only our combined individual distinctiveness that reflects the fullness of the image of God, we look to Jesus as our greatest example of radical hospitality.
This Epiphany season worship and learn with FBC as we embrace “Radical Hospitality: Celebrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” Weekly Learning Community (resuming January 26th, Sundays at 3:15 online/in person) will get into the nitty gritty of what we need to consider to be inclusive. Worship (resuming January 26th, Sundays at 4:30 pm online/in person) will provide the inspiration to enable us to truly become welcoming to all.

African Mission Initiative supports the ongoing work of training and equipping pastoral leaders and others in Burundi under the direction of Rev Dr Eleazar Ziherambere, a member of First Baptist Church, Pottstown. Rev Ziherambere wrote to us from Burundi in mid-December saying, "...we are having a Women's Conference. We have 70 attendees and we can see a spirit of real renewal. We have also helped repair a needy school and [distributed] books. This year AMI has conducted VBS in 3 locations with more than 500 children. Many children aged 14-16 have given their lives to Jesus." Children who show academic promise are financially supported so that they can continue to learn. "Right now," Rev Ziherambere writes, "we support 2 in college, 4 in high school and 1 in middle school. It will indeed be a blessing to have FBC think about us in January."
In 2024, FBC committed to giving $1000. to AMI; will you help us meet this goal again? Please give generously online, in worship or by mail. Thank you in advance for your generous gifts.
