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!
Acts 3:19 “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord”
The Bible is quite clear in both the Old and New Testaments that we all need a time of refreshing and revival.
As we just “do life” we can get in a rut or allow the busyness of our schedules to pull us away from the Lord.
We may not read/study our Bibles, pray, or church attendance may decline. It’s during those times that it’s important for us to listen to the Holy Spirit as He convicts us and guides us back to the Lord!
Perhaps this is a good time for us to seek the Lord’s presence and to be in a right relationship with Him.
James 4:8-10 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”
A lady asked Billy Sunday: "Why do you keep having revivals when it doesn't last?" He asked her, "Why do you keep taking baths?"
Why do we constantly need revival? Because we, as individuals and a church want to be as close to the Lord as possible!
