Historic Activities of the Church

It's been over 40 years of existence

The historic activities carried out by the Church, which have impacted and still impacting the Community where the Church and her members are located, are recorded in the 40th Edition of History book.

A deep reflection on the 40 years journey of the Church (September 25, 1977 – September 25. 2017) even till date, reveals that God has so much beautify the Church with grace so amazing. That is why 2017 theme is “Amazing Grace.” We could see that. “Out of His (Christ) fullness (abundance) we have all received one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favour upon favour and gift heaped upon gift -John 1:16, AMP. Our championship is product of grace.

Rick Warren popularized the question, “What on earth am I here for?” This is a question of purpose. When a church understands her purpose, she will be focused and make impacts.

His Kingdom is our Focus

First Baptist Church, Festac Town was established to seek the lost and equip them with kingdom principles so that they can in turn carry out kingdom purpose in order to increase kingdom population and glorify Jesus, the king of the kingdom.

In the course of writing the forty years history of the church, it was observed that, First Baptist Church, Festac Town has not lost focus on her purpose but fulfilled it.

It was also observed that, there are more grounds to cover. So, the Church is set to do more exploits than she did in the last forty years because Jesus Christ is our sufficiency.

Jesus Christ is our sufficiency

We are Champion for Life

The word of God has been and it will be forever

Engaging God's word through faith

For I am convinced that neither angels nor demons, neither death nor life, neither the present nor the future, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God -Romans 8:38-39.

Our Aim

Our aim is to bring the gospel’s ultimate hope in the time of despair to the most populous elitist community of Nigeria and therefore to the world. This was further elaborated by Him (God) when He gave us the project to set up 9 churches in 9 years by 1990.

Here is Our Goal

Our Goal is to build a beautiful Bride for the Lamb. This was to be by giving people the cream of the word and live by example so that they could also grow through Bible study, prayer and fasting and transparent noble conversation of life.

About Our Zeal

Our zeal is equipped by the Holy Spirit with whom He has sealed us. How much the Holy Spirit has encouraged us by His gifts and His fruits so graciously given to us and displayed amongst us. The power of His Spirit is our drive and what propels us to do the kingdom assignment.

Our Hope

Our hope is “Jesus our Sufficiency”. To individuals, families, groups and the church, the whole world. He is sufficient not only for us now but till eternity. Looking back, we are very grateful to Him for His undiluted never-ending love upon His church and the entire family of Christ.

Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you -Exodus 32:34.
