HISTORY OF FIRST UNITED BAPTIST CHURCH
First United Baptist Church began in the early 1970's by the merging of two congregations, Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Terrie Mahone, and the Pioneer Baptist Church, which was under the leadership of Pastor Henry Goins. The two congregations officially merged in the Spring of 1975.As we entered the new Millennium, January 2001, the Lord blessed us with a new Pastor, Rev. Lenzy E. Bell, who is a man of great spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Under Pastor Bell's leadership we have instituted a Youth Advisory Board, New Membership Discipleship Class, reactivated the Brotherhood Ministry, initiated a Youth Drill Team, and Praise Dance Ministry. |

MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
The Lord has blessed First United Baptist Church with a Wonderful vision which is “Teaching the Word, changing the World,” based on Acts 2:36-41. We firmly believe that God will make a mighty move in the lives of His children that seek to establish a real relationship with Him based on direction from His word. According to Isaiah 55:11, God’s word will not go out and return void, but will accomplish what He sent it to do. When disciples are thoroughly equipped with the word, they will begin to represent His words of love, joy, health, wealth, peace, restoration, and forgiveness that is being manifested in their lives. Change will be evident as people begin to observe the fruit we are bearing and they will come crying, “What must I do to be saved?” As God’s church continues to grow by operating on His Kingdom principles, we will begin to punch holes in the darkness and allow His light to guide those still trapped in darkness into his marvelous light. When we teach the Word, we will change the world by changing the lives of people regardless of their background or how problematic their yesterdays have been. Jesus Christ can still take individuals who the world has neglected and rejected, and allow them to become respected based on their new fellowship with Him.
Pastor Lenzy Bell
We would love to hear from you!
