SENIOR PASTOR

Rev. Steve Lakin is the pastor of our church.
"Unless the Lord builds the house,
they labor in vain who build it."
Psalm 127:1 (NKJV)
At First Baptist Andersonville,
we believe in the family. Our motto is
"Building Families Upon Biblical Foundations".
It is based upon the preceding verse.
In all aspects of our ministries, it is our desire
to build up and strengthen YOUR family
on the foundational teachings from God's Word.
Whether married, widowed, divorced, or single,
we welcome you to come be a part of our family as we grow together in grace and knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Pastor Steve
