Welcome

Welcome to

First Baptist Church of Odem!

Our vision is to make a positive impact upon our community by providing a place where all are welcome, and where individuals and families can grow  in faith and discover God's plan for their lives.

We are committed to making a positive impact  and helping others experience the "perfect peace" that comes from faith in Jesus Christ, and obedience to the Holy Spirit.

We invite you to join us this Sunday for an encouraging worship service.  We pray that you will feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as we worship together through music, prayer and a message from God's word, the Holy Bible.

Everyone is welcome!

"It's Not Just Church, It's Life"

We want you here!

 

A Message Regarding Tithes and Offerings

Bring your "tithes and offerings" into the storehouse so that God's work may be done.  The Bible is clear in stating that God is the owner of all we have (Psalm 24:1) and it instructs us to give within our means (2 Corinthians 8:12).  We are to be stewards of all God has given us (Luke 16:10-13) and to love God not money (1 Timothy 6:6-10).  In Malachi 3:6-18, God said "Test me in this, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."

Your church leaders and Finance Committee members are committed to managing resources responsibly, with transparency, integrity and accountability to the church family.  Each year, with much prayer and review, a budget, designed to further the mission of making disciples of Christ, is presented to the congregation for review, discussion and, finally, approval.

Your tithes and offerings make it possible to do the Lord's work, and we thank you for your giving.  May God bless you.

    Would you prayerfully consider giving? No gift is too small when we give together for the sake of the Gospel. Let’s work together to reach—and exceed—our $500 goal!
