First Baptist Church of Woodstock

A Season of Purpose

 

You might wonder if it's possible for a church as big as First Baptist Church of Woodstock to feel small and inviting. Often, First Woodstock is a hosting venue for major events. Still, each week, they strive to make a large facility feel warm and welcoming. Almost every Sunday morning, you can find Lead Pastor Jeremy Morton greeting guests and checking in on regular attendees in the lobby. Small groups, volunteer opportunities, and mid-week activities for all generations are just a few ways to connect with others in this faith community.

Each year, the Christmas season is so special at First Woodstock, as the church takes every opportunity to extend generosity in a very tangible way. While many look forward to the Christmas season as a time of giving and celebration, others may find it challenging or stressful. Through a program called Caring Christmas, First Woodstock provides Christmas gifts to families in need, so that they can continue focusing on their other financial responsibilities.

“Through Caring Christmas, First Woodstock gave us a Christmas we could never have expected! We were able to provide basic needs for our family, but doing extra for Christmas just wasn’t going to happen. The generosity of the church blew us away. We had so much fun putting gifts together that people had provided. It was a huge way we could see God’s care and generosity through our church family. We can't wait ‘til we can return this kind of generosity to another family like us!” said Jessica and Jason, former recipients of Caring Christmas.

It is First Woodstock’s mission to “die to themselves and live for Christ from Woodstock to the world.” This statement is embodied in the opportunities that parishioners pursue to put others first and grow in sacrificing what might be comfortable to them for the benefit of someone else. Caring Christmas is a picture of the congregation attempting to live out this mission to their community.

Beyond the Christmas season, the church is passionate about serving the Woodstock area throughout the year. The church food pantry provides food to families in need. The food pantry also partners with Vingenzo’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Woodstock every other Tuesday night to serve meals to the hungry.

As you make plans for this holiday season, you will not want to miss First Woodstock’s Christmas concert, “Sounds of the Season.” These special concerts are free and feature the First Baptist Church of Woodstock’s Worship Choir, Orchestra, and Kids Choir. Those in attendance will enjoy holiday classics, original music, Christmas carols and a live nativity. It is sure to become a holiday tradition for you and your family. This year’s concerts are on December 11 and 12, at 6:00pm. You can find all the details at FBCW.org/Christmas.

Since families have their own sets of unique Christmas plans, First Woodstock offers two options to attend its moving Christmas Eve gathering. You can attend on December 23 before heading out of town or on Christmas Eve. Both gatherings are at 5:00pm. Look forward to singing carols, a special Christmas Eve message from Pastor Jeremy, an unforgettable candlelight moment, and time to reflect together on the birth of Christ our Savior.

For those who might be new to Woodstock, or for anyone with a desire to get more involved in a local church in this area, First Baptist Church of Woodstock would love to be your church home!

“As a church, we’re very intentional about providing great opportunities for every generation. From preschoolers to mature adults, there is a place for you at First Woodstock to belong, grow in your faith, and join with others to make a difference in this community and beyond,” says Pastor Jeremy. “God is doing something very special here. I can’t begin to describe the joy I feel, as we worship together each Sunday morning, and as I see my own family impacted so deeply by the opportunities they have to serve and grow at this incredible church.”

As the new year approaches, it is the perfect time to engage with a church like First Woodstock that loves God and this community. You can attend services on campus or online every Sunday for a time of worship at 9:30am or 11:00am. For more information, please visit the website.
