Church and Pastor Information : First Baptist Church of Crothersville, Indiana

CHURCH INFORMATION . PASTOR INFORMATION . CHURCH DEACONS

The First Baptist Church of Crothersville was founded in 1891 with the first building constructed in 1895. We meet in our Family Life Center, where our attendance averages in the 180's and our services are blended. We sing traditional hymns as well as contemporary praise songs and read from the New International Version of the Bible. We are not afraid to openly celebrate Jesus Christ and we offer activities for every age group.

Our regular service times are on Sunday mornings at 9:30 to 10:45 and our Bible Fellowship Classes (Sunday School) times are at 10:45 to 11:30. On Sunday evenings at 6:30 to 7:30 we worship in our new sanctuary.

Children's Church is held during our worship hour. A children's sermon is given during our worship hour and then the kids (aged K-5) trek next door to have Children's Church. For more information about Children's Church and the many activities enjoyed by our youth, visit our Youth Activities area.

Overseers and Deacons

1Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. 5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

8Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

11In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well. 13Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:

   He appeared in a body
      was vindicated by the Spirit,
   was seen by angels,
      was preached among the nations,
   was believed on in the world,
      was taken up in glory.
