Bill  Stewart -

Having “grown up” in First Baptist, I have witnessed first hand the leadership of three fine pastors. Through each of their tenures, our church body has remained focused on teaching the Word of God and introducing people to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. As a congregation, we planned for the future, prayed, and moved forward in faith. I am passionate about Encouraging Today Impacting Tomorrow because it will enable us to build upon our heritage and continue doing with excellence what God has called us to do.

We are surrounded with negative news and people telling us how bad things are going to get. The world is full of uncertainty, and we do not know what the future holds but we know Who holds the future. Right now at this time in our history, we at First Baptist Spartanburg have never had a better opportunity to impact the future for Jesus Christ. Through our multiple worship services, Bible teaching for all ages, mission programs and media outreach, we can impact Spartanburg and beyond for Jesus Christ.

In our local church, Encouraging Today Impacting Tomorrow allows us to participate in the propagation of God’s Kingdom.  Our encouragement today is the untold privilege to ensure we do our part in this corner of God’s Vineyard.  Every believer has been given the ministry of reconciliation. There is no greater encouragement than to provide a place as a downtown church where God’s people are encouraged each week and people come to know the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
