The next chapter in the life of First Baptist Church begins now. After over a year of altered services and forced time away from each other in worship and programming, we are now fully resuming church life. Come be a part of this next chapter starting with our kick off on August 8.


GIVING UPDATE 7/18/2021

Special Gifts

In memory of Mr. Wayne Mosely by Mrs. Celeta Cavender.


ANNOUNCEMENTS

Our Sympathy to the family of Wayne Mosely.

Visitation will take place on Wednesday, July 21 from 5-7 pm at Almon Funeral Home. The funeral will be Thursday at 2 pm at the church.

Feeding Families West Georgia is growing! We have reached out to 5 schools in Carroll County who have all said yes to our weekend backpack program. The schools we plan to serve this year are Carrollton Elementary, Carrollton Upper Elementary, Central Middle, Sharps Creek Elementary, and Whitesburg Elementary. 

We need volunteers to help us pack food bags and to deliver them to our schools. This happens on every Thursday that schools are in session. We pack in a room that has been graciously given to us to use by First Baptist Church and we begin packing at 9:00am. It takes about 1.5-2 hrs to complete the number of bags for the week. Delivery begins around 10-10:30 and usually takes no more than one hour.

If you have time to volunteer once, once a month, or every other week, we would love to have you join us!

STAY CONNECTED


Dr. David Hughes

Senior Pastor

Dr. David Hughes accepted the call to the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Carrollton in January 2022. David’s formation is in thanks to many fine schools, employers, churches, and his family. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish at Furman University (2005), a Master of Divinity from Erskine Theological Seminary (2018) and a Doctor of Ministry at McAfee School of Theology in Church Leadership and Administration (2023). Before accepting the call to ministry in 2011, David worked for six years for non-profits in Greenville, South Carolina and Patagonia, Chile. Previously, he served as the minister to students at First Baptist Church of Augusta (2018 – 2021) and Easley First Baptist Church (2011 – 2018). Married to Rebecca in 2006, David’s amazing wife is a constant source of love, encouragement, and partnership in the ministry. The two of them welcomed their daughter Maggie in 2012 and now watch with amazement as their precious daughter continues to grow and develop. David believes firmly that The Church is a place of invitation for all where lives can be transformed by The Gospel of Jesus Christ. His passion is to create vision and lead God’s people to express the love of Christ in the world.
