First Baptist Church

March 13-18
First Baptist Church
Santa Maria, CA


We loved our time with the people of First Baptist. We loved worshiping with them on Sunday and throughout the week. We enjoyed being able to fellowship with people before and after the services and the Irish Concert on Wednesday night. 

We had several ways that we got to interact with the kids and teens this week. Not only did we hold a Children’s Program each night during the services, but Phil and Mike both spoke in school chapels throughout the week. We also interacted with the teens during the pre-session on Sunday night. Throughout the week, Hudson and Aaron spoke in the school chapels throughout the week which all lead up to the Dodgeball Tournament on Friday night. We had several teens come out that night. We also loved the opportunity to talk to the parents who stayed around to watch their kids play. 

This week we enjoyed several opportunities to spend time together as a team. On Monday night after the service, we celebrated Mike and Phil’s birthday. We’re so thankful for them both and what they each add to our team. On Thursday night since we didn’t have a regular service, we were invited over for dinner at a sweet family’s home. The tri-tip steak was amazing of course, but it was a special treat to be able to spend time with them and learn about different health tips. 

We’re thankful for the sweet week of ministry with the people of First Baptist. Thankful for the opportunity to partner alongside them for the kingdom!
