Hello! My name is Pastor CG Coats and I want to welcome you to the First Baptist Church of Norristown where we exist to "Shepherd messy and broken people toward holiness and wholeness through our Savior and Healer."
Each year at First Baptist Church of Norristown, we have a single word that we reflect on and are actively pursuing as a church. This year, our word is HOPE. This world is full of a lot of pain and if we focus on the hurt we’ve experienced, it can keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering; like a depressing song that never ends. When we continuously replay the pain in our minds, it becomes difficult to move forward and find peace. So, instead of focusing on the pain, we've agreed to focus on the HOPE in our lives this year. 1 Timothy 4:10 says, “That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our HOPE in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.”
We are striving to be better. We are trying to grasp HOPE. We are trying to make it tangible and tell others of the HOPE that Jesus Christ gives us each and every day to live.
We HOPE you can join us this year either virtually or in person for our worship service at 10:30 AM each and every Sunday morning. Please use this link to request our Zoom information to join us virtually. I would love to meet you and find out what brought you to our community of faith! I HOPE you know that I love you, but more importantly, God loves you.
Love in Christ, Pastor CG Coats
