My Story
We are a long established American Baptist Church (founded in 1843) who remains active in our community.
FBC is a living organism which is constantly striving to become what God would have us to be.
We are focussed on outreach to our community to spread the love of Christ and to serve the residents of Hillsboro, Ohio and beyond. Another focus is to enrich the lives of our congregation to draw them ever closer to the Lord.
​
We are seeking a Pastor who has a comprehensive understanding of the Bible and Christian theology, who can preach clearly, making the Gospel relevant to people’s lives today.
We desire a well-planned and conducted Sunday morning service as the central event of the congregation with the moving and direction of the Holy Spirit to have first priority, so that people’s needs will be understood by the people and met by God. We are not rigid in form and time.
While the Pastor needs to maintain an interest in and oversight of all that happens within the church, lay leaders are trained and be responsible for most of the actual work. This is especially true of relating our faith to persons outside the church.
It is important that Christians of all denominations be able to come together as the body of Christ for special events and programs, to worship together, and to address social issues to bring God’s solutions into play. Our individual and congregational resources can be greatly used for ourselves and the community.
