Each week our pastor presents a challenge straight from the Scriptures.  It is our prayer that every message heard will both bless and challenge those hearts who receive it.  There's nothing like being here in person to experience worship together, but when we are unable to, we are thankful to have worship available live and archived on both Facebook and Youtube.

We'd love to have you join us on a Sunday morning or at one of our numerous ministry activities.  Need directions?  Click below to learn more.

HONEA PATH FIRST BAPTIST is a place where people can meet Jesus, believers can engage in life-giving community, and everyone is welcome.  We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for Him.  Join us for our Sunday services! 

Administrative Committee Meeting
September 9, 2025

•  Allyson presented the financial information for the month of August. Clarity was given as inquiries were made.  Funding required for noted improvements, those listed in last Sunday’s bulletin, will come from line item 876, Capital Projects, when approved.  Financial updates are provided to the Finance Committee and are available to anyone upon request.

• As prices change and plans are created to maximize our budget for the building project, considerations to achieve the most for allotted monies are discussed.  Because of adherence to said budget, plans must change.  The newest development is the renovation of the basement.  This will allow the majority of the new building to be utilized for our youth.  Please pray for our church as we continue in this planning, giving, and building process.

• The ice maker in the vault is broken, and a new one is needed.  Many thanks to CR who volunteered to cover half of the cost.  After a unanimous vote, an ice machine will be purchased with the remaining cost coming from monies allocated to the Administrative Committee. Estimates include a used ice machine for $1475 to a new one at $3100.  Monies spent will be provided when purchase is made.

• Wednesday night supper participation is improving.  The staff is currently preparing these meals with less people – now only three. If you want to come for supper on Wednesdays, call the church office and your name will be added to the list or write your name on the sign- up sheet.  This is a great chance for food and fellowship😊

• Our church body is growing!  It doesn’t take long to realize that there are people worshipping with us whose names are unknown.  Planning is underway to create an in- house directory.  Expect updates soon!

• The IT committee has taken on an additional task of archiving Pastor Josh’s sermons.  The goals are to create a way to search for sermon topics and remove announcements that lengthen the service yet are no longer applicable.
