Church WebsiteOur church is as old as our town, both being established in 1899. Recognizing the need for a place to worship and to receive spiritual guidance, a group of ten men and eight women met in a vacant store for several months. J.T. Burnett was called to serve as pastor for an annual salary of $180. He said in letter right before moving to FBC, "Excitement is high; more settlers are arriving and the main of them will need to hear the gospel. Christ is our only hope." We are just as passionate today about the gospel of hope as we were at our beginning!
