Celebrating God’s Work at FBC Longview & Pastor Search Update

This Sunday was full of joy and reminders of God’s work among us! We welcomed 15 new members into our church family and celebrated 4 baptisms—amazing milestones of faith. We’ve also recently cleared out a few classrooms that had been used for storage to make room for the growing number of children joining our ministries.

Amid these celebrations, our Pastor Search Team shared an important update. After much prayer and discernment, they made the difficult but clear decision not to move forward with The New Guy. Throughout this process, the team has faithfully followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit, even when it meant making hard choices.

As we step into this next season, there are opportunities for all of us to serve. Our church is growing, ministries are expanding, and we need volunteers to help lead and support during this transition. If you feel called to serve, please reach out to our staff—your participation makes a real difference.

Let’s continue to lift one another and the Pastor Search Team in prayer as we follow wherever God is leading. As Romans 12:1 reminds us, “…give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is the way to worship Him.”
