Check out the baptismal pool at FBC Monroeville. It's located in the church lobby, so everyone can see baptisms taking place.

Galveston Urban Ministries

 

A mission team from West Shore Baptist Church travelled to Galveston, TX to partner with Galveston Urban Ministries. GUM is making a significant impact in alleviating poverty in their neighborhood as they engage in the slow work of seeking the Kingdom in one person, one family, one block at a time.

Ramp Up

 

 

Liberty Baptist Church in Blanchard recently constructed a ramp for a member of the community. What's special about this ramp is that it was paid for in part by an ABCOPAD grant that the church received this spring. Through this grant, and gifts from their congregation, the church has been able to fund a number of projects like this one to reach out to their community and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
