An Article for LGBTQ Individuals Who Are Navigating Family Life With Unaffirming Parents
For the LGBTQ members of our FBC community and beyond, you are a beloved child of God and as you live into that truth, we pray with you that your parents will come to see and know that beautiful truth too. This article in Queer Theology has advice on navigating unaffirming friends and family. You can read the article here.

Special Worship
We often have special worship services for a specific theme or presentation. We have a strong music ministry singing a variety of styles of music each week. We have talented, trained people working with our children & youth ministry and we have a strong safe child policy that ensures that children are respected, safe and well cared for.
We are continually seeking God’s direction for new ministry; we want to be an engaged presence in the Pottstown community. We currently host Narcotics Anonymous four times a week, Monday, Wednesday and twice on Saturday (check out our calendar for specific times). We share our building space with Tri-County YWCA, Steel River Playhouse and Centro Cultural Latinos Unidos (CCLU). We are active in the Pottstown Cluster of Churches and share Vacation Bible School and annual worship with some of our neighboring faith communities.When we say “welcome”, we really mean that! “All are welcome—really!”
We are a small, dynamic congregation of all kinds of folks: we are gay, straight and trans. We are Anglo, African American, Latina and African. We are old and young; we educate, drive trucks, hold “professional” jobs, are retired. Some of us consult, some volunteer, some are artists, some therapist/counselors. We don’t all think the same way about politics, sports or even theology, but we do believe in creating spaces that are inclusive and welcoming. We believe it because we understand God to be welcoming---not just of some, but of all.
Take a look around our website and find our Facebook page. Read a sermon or two, see what's happening and come visit us on a Sunday morning or some other time at your convenience. We’d like to welcome you in person. Because we believe in a God who welcomes everybody and that includes YOU! You are welcome at First Baptist Church--really!
