35th Anniversary

When Debbie and I arrived, we had two children, college furniture, one car, very few clothes, and I was short on wisdom. The FBC Search Committee and the congregation took a leap of faith on a young preacher from Matador. Over the years, you have encouraged me in every way. You supported my continued education at TCU. You allowed me to make mistakes, learn, and grow. You were patient as I tried to find my way in preaching and leadership. You have blessed our children with debt-free university educations. Debbie and I live in a very nice home that serves as a gathering point for our families.

Over these years, FBC has reached a place of ministry and expectation in this community and the surrounding areas. We are grateful to be trusted by the people of this area.

During our recent renovation, I am grateful for the trust you have placed in the Building and Finance Committees, which have overseen the project. While the materials have been slow in coming, the craftsmen have moved the project along as they were able. And you have been very gracious in your understanding and support of the projects. The trust we are enjoying is built over time. Thank you.

We are appreciative of the 35 years of partnership with the people of First Baptist Church and the community of Muleshoe. Thank you for blessing us.

Baptist General Convention of Texas – Cooperative Program Appreciation

Last Sunday, Dr. Kris Knippa represented the BGCT by presenting FBC Muleshoe with a plaque and a certificate of appreciation for its faithful giving to the Cooperative Program. Our church has steadfastly upheld its mission commitments over the years. In the last ten years, FBC Muleshoe has given more than $374,000.00 to state missions causes. Both the church and the convention are grateful for your mission over the years.
