Learn more >>>

Hello, from Kentucky WMU!

Theme: “With Purpose” | 2 Samuel 24:24

As Kentucky Baptists, we are called to live on purpose—to live intentionally, sacrificially, and missionally—for the glory of God. That intention should lead us to one clear goal: to share the gospel throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The Eliza Broadus Offering (EBO) enables Kentuckians to reach their neighbors with the gospel. 

With Purpose.


>> Digital Prayer Guide - Our Hopkinsville Christian County Baptist Association made the list!


Print materials and envelopes will be provided on Sunday, September 14. Official offering date is Sunday, September 21. FBC Goal is $3,500.

Facility Campaign

God has blessed FBC with a fantastic campus! Over the history of our church, this campus has been used for the glory of God and will continue to be used for that purpose. Our great challenge is that the financial demand of deferred maintenance greatly exceeds our giving.


Please consider prayerfully how you can give above and beyond your tithes and offerings.
