Tennessee Baptist Children's Homes
Welcoming children in hard places with the love of Christ.
Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes has been providing Christ-centered, nurturing homes for children in hard places since 1891. Mrs. Georgia Eastman, who felt led by the Lord to provide a Christian home for orphaned children, organized a committee of faithful ladies to pursue the work. In just six months, the home (the former Hotel Delaware in West Nashville) was furnished and rented for $50 per month, and the ministry accepted the first children into care.
In 2013, TBCH partnered with Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services (DCS) to provide certified foster families across the state for children who come into state custody. In 2014, TBCH renamed its foster care program to The George Shinn Foster Care Program.
Though the buildings, children and staff are different, we believe the same Lord who called Mrs. Georgia Eastman is still leading us to care for children and families and is faithful to provide through His people.
TBCH provides for children through Foster Care and Residential Care on three campuses across Tennessee.
First Baptist supports Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes through the Mother’s Day Offering.

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,
Faith! Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as; “..faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” In other words, faith is something that we have assurance of even though we cannot see it, feel it, or hold it!
In Mark there is a boy that has an evil spirit and his dad brings the young man to Jesus for healing. He had first brought him to the disciples but they could not cast the evil spirit out.
The dad says to Jesus, “If you can (heal him), have pity on us and help us”.
Jesus seized upon the phrase, “If you can”. If you can… I am afraid many of us live in the “If you can” world of following Jesus. We don’t trust Him enough!
Jesus then replied, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Another passage says, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him”. Faith is necessary to please God!
The Bible says, “Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.””
The dad admits that there is “some doubt” in his heart. He says, I believe to a point, but I would be less than honest if I said I had all faith!” But even in his confession of a lack of faith he goes to the one that can help, “help my unbelief”!
Do we believe that God can provide for us personally? As a church? Can he add to the church? Can He use us to reach our community? He can… but we must believe! Lord help my unbelief!
Pastor Bob
