Church Motto
First......that all may know Jesus.
This is the motto of First Baptist Dayton, TN
taken from 1 Timothy 2:3-5.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,"

From the Pastor:
FBC Dayton Family!
It’s amazing how our culture can twist a Holiday and make it secular.
Saint Patrick’s Day is a day that people drink green beer and dress up like leprechaun’s when in reality Patrick was a former slave turned missionary that ends up leading the pagan nation of Ireland to the Lord Jesus.
Our world perverts Valentines, Christmas, and the worst of all the Resurrection.
We are about to enter that time of year that we celebrate the biggest events on the Christian calendar!
Why would we celebrate a pretend bunny or eggs when we have the greatest news in the history of mankind to celebrate! He is risen!
We will start a sermon series on March 8th leading up to Easter Sunday.
On Palm Sunday, March 29, the Choir has some special music planned.
On Good Friday, April 3, we will have a Service about “The Cup”!
On Resurrection Sunday, April 5, we will start off the Day with a Sunrise Service and Breakfast with the Morning Service celebrating the Resurrection!
John 11:25 Jesus said, ““I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,”
Please invite your family, friends, coworkers, or even a total stranger to attend with you!
