                Last week in our church service I shared pieces of our church's statements that guide us as we seek to advance the Gospel and fulfill our mission here at Glenpool's First Baptist Church. This week I share them here so you can read, reflect and remember  them.

We are more than a church we are a family! A family of faith located in the heart of the city with a  heart for the city! We are all about working together to reach Glenpool and the World for Christ!

We are here to make disciples that make disciples. Said another way, we work to produce fully devoted followers of Christ that produce fully devoted followers of Christ!

Guiding Scriptures- Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 22:36-40, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:42-47

We are...
