What Will Sunday Look Like?

We will sing as Praise is an important response to our Sovereign God.
We will pray - a time of prayer for our Church, our Nation, and the World
We will read the scripture.

Pastor Steve will speak.

• We have yet to pick the ideal setting from which to do this type of presentation.
• We are doing a test run, but please be patient as we get this fully up and running.
• We will publish Inserts and a Sermon Guide by email on Fridays.

What do I do with my Offering?

For online giving, a link is available on the church website (link). You can give through this platform at any time, day or night.

If you prefer to not use the online giving method, you can mail your offering to the Church (482 North Ocean Ave, Patchogue, NY).

Please consider our Deacon Fund. We are preparing to help people with buying essentials. We have already begun helping the elderly and at-risk congregants, along with those they may be temporarily out-of-work.

Will Anything Else be available Online?

Our Pastors will be broadcasting a Devotional throughout the week. The schedule is still to be determined.

We have opened a forum through email for Encouragement, Testimonies & Ideas to share. We are working with other ways to interact and will send them out as they come together.

How Can I Be Involved in Ministry?

Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, and Pray

• We are asking that Wednesdays be a day of Prayer and Fasting. We will have the church doors open 10:00a-5:00p  on Wednesdays for those who want to stop in for personal or family Prayer.
• Please pray for the Church- other Churches in our area facing the same challenges and decisions, The Church around the world, and some churches facing even greater Challenges.
• Get on the phone for an encouraging phone call to someone else from Church. Spend more time talking about the Good News and just a few moments about the News. Please pray together on the phone.
  
  
• Send cards by USPS. If you have Kids at home, have them hand-make a couple cards! Especially remember our doctors, nurses, first responders, military, and missionaries.
  
  
• We may be calling for help on the Community Level. Lighthouse Mission has been asked to partner with Brookhaven Town to deliver food to the Needy. They may need additional backup.
  
  
• Start conversations with the Fearful and turn them to the Savior! We will give you some talking points to help with that.

Please remember that We are the Church! Church is not Closed.

We may not fill the Building  on Sunday but God's Church will still fill the LORD's ears with our Praise and Prayers.

The Word on the Street is RELENTLESS!

Joseph had his dreams shattered, his family turn on him, his freedom stripped from him, but he Relentlessly trusted God. He became a Slave and was Relentless until he was given the title Steward. He was falsely accused and isolated to the dungeon from where he Relentlessly rose to be the head prisoner. He was forgotten and seemingly forsaken but he Relentlessly continued faithful.

He served Pharaoh Relentlessly and rose to be the Prime Minister. He saved grain Relentlessly and so had food to rescue the entire region. He met his Brother(Betrayers) and forgave them Relentlessly living to see his father and brother Benjamin -and the whole family restored.

This is not the time to Retreat; it is the time to be Relentless.

Hello and welcome to the First Baptist Church of Patchogue. Whether you are here by accident or design, we are glad to be able to share with you the good things that God is doing at our church.

Simply put, we are here to point people to the eternal God who with great love and compassion sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the Savior of the world. His death and resurrection has made it possible for believing men and women everywhere to experience the life changing power of God’s new life and to share in the hope of eternal life.

Our hope is that you will join us soon for one of our services. But more importantly, our desire for you is that you might find your way to God. If you are searching for Him, you might start with a reading of the Gospel of John, the fourth book of the New Testament. John said that he wrote his book so that “you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31).

God bless you,

Pastor Stephen Willoughby
