A message from the
First Baptist Church Youth Ministry,
Acquire the Fire!
It was great to have so many of you at Bronco Sunday! We had many parents and teachers, coaches and administrators. May the Lord bless MISD and continue to grow His church in Meadow, TX.
Sunday mornings this semester, we'll be studying through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-10.
Our first Youth Worship on Sunday evening of October 4th was very special. Thanks goes to Cary Tekell for the sound assistance, and to the Trinity Church musicians who came from Lubbock to lead us in worship. We'll be having more in the coming weeks, so watch for details.
Plan now to be a part of every Wednesday Evening you can make! We're having great crowds, but there's always room for more! This week's menu is Chick-fil-a Sandwiches!
Let this be your invitation to come and be a part of what's happening and Acquire the Fire! See you Sunday!
In Christ,
Jordan and Amber
Check here each week for future upcoming events.
Gin's Men's Bible Study
Our regular study on Tuesday mornings at the Gin will start back up on October 27th at 8:00 a.m. It's a meaningful and positive time to spend a short while in God's Word. Men, take this as your invitation to spend 20-30 minutes with us.
The coffee is always on!
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
Regular Wednesday Evening Bible Study is back for adults, youth and children. It's a great time of fellowship and good food along with growing in Christ through meaningful Bible Study. This Wednesday, we're having Chick-fil-a Sandwiches!
Acquire the Fire! (Youth Group) will continue to have a meal with the adults before breaking away for their own study in the youth room. Jordan and Amber are gearing up for a great time with youth.
Children (K-5th Grade) accompanied by an adult (who is welcomed to take part in the Adult Study) will all meet together in the Old Fellowship Hall for a time of Bible Games and music with Melanie Calhoun and Ryden Campos.
Nursery care is available each Wednesday evening.
Bible Study For All Ages

Other ministries and missions
we support and participate in.
FBC supports ministries and missions both locally and across the globe financially and with volunteer help. There are plenty of areas to get involved!
Meadow community Pantry
During the Thanksgiving Season each year, the church has an autumn food drive to help support the local food pantry located at City Hall in Meadow. Our next drive has been scheduled for November 1 through November 22, collecting non-perishable foods for the people of Meadow. In the past, our children have also replenished the Community Pantry as a service project each summer during Vacation Bible School.
Terry County Pak-Pals
Terry County Pak Pals helps feed over 330 elementary age children in need every weekend in our county while schools are in session. That number includes more than 30 children right here in Meadow. Along with budgeted support each month, volunteers from our church provide assistance three or four times during each school year in putting together weekend food packs distributed by the school at the end of each class week. To be a part, check the church calendar for the dates and times and check with Nelda Brooks.
mobile food pantry
Our church budgets financial support monthly for those in need in the Meadow area through the Mobile Food Pantry in association with the South Plains Food Bank. Volunteers from the church along with members of Meadow High School Student Council help distribute food once every other month at the Ropesville Football Field. Watch for the date and time when we again can be a part. As in years past, preparations are under way to provide special Christmas Boxes as well to those from our community who we serve each month.
South Plains College BSM
Along with budgeted support of the South Plains College Baptist Student Ministry in Levelland, TX, the church also provides individually wrapped chips and desserts each semester during one of the scheduled events at the BSM. FBC Meadow partners with FBC Plains to serve up to 150 students each time. Watch for details on our next opportunity to minister to students at SPC/BSM.
Grief Share
GriefShare is a 13-week, grief recovery support group. Each biblically based session includes a video, workbook support, and group discussion where church members and others in our area can find help and healing for the hurt of losing a loved one. You can join the group at any time during a cycle. A special one night session of "Surviving the Holidays" is scheduled for November 10th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Contact Traci Taylor through the Directory or the church office for more details.
Operation Christmas Child
Our 2026 campaign for Operation Christmas Child began last Sunday with distribution of boxes from the church. There are still plenty of boxes left, and this is a wonderful way to teach our youth and children about the power of a giving spirit. Boxes should be returned by November 8th to have time to send them on their way around the world. Be the hands and feet of Christ this Christmas!
