Welcome

��Thank�you for visiting the website of

FAIRFIELD GLADE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH!

Welcome to Fairfield Glade First Baptist, where our doors are open to all people. We are a group of people who come from different backgrounds with a common commitment to Jesus.

Together we are striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible --a church with relevant preaching and teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we would like to live a joyful and contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the Glade, Crab Orchard, Crossville and our world, one life at a time. So whether you are a spiritual seeker who is just starting to ask questions about God, or you are a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of faith deeper, you can find a home at Fairfield Glade First Baptist Church. You will find our church to be a family. We love and care for each other. You will also find that this is a place where you really matter --because you matter to God.

Leonard and Debra Markham
