We'd like to be among the first to tell you how exciting it is to know that you have decided to follow Christ! This is such an important decision and we at First General Baptist Church want to help you understand what's next. The journey of a Christ follower is exciting and rewarding, and we'd love the opportunity to help you understand your next steps!

Baptism is a great way to publicly show that you have made a choice to follow Christ and it is one of the first things Jesus asks us to do when we decide to follow Him. You can sign up for the next baptism by filling out a baptism sign-up form on the app, filling out an app at FGBC central, or you can call our office at 812-385-5410.

Reading scripture is vital to our growth as a Christian. A good first step would be to start in the New Testament and read the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Starting a daily devotional and prayer time will also help you grow closer to God. Here at First General Baptist Church, we use the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible, however there are many different translations that you can use to best fit your reading style and personal study needs!

One of the best ways to grow in your relationship with God is by being in fellowship with other believers! Here at FGBC, we have a wide variety of Sunday School Classes, Small Groups and Ministries to get involved in. You can check out our events calendar for weekly meetings, or you can visit our Connect Tab to learn more! We cannot do this walk alone, spending time with and learning from other believers will help you grow on your own jouney.
