75TH ANNIVERSARY The 75th anniversary of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church is July 14, 2015. We plan to recognize and celebrate this monumental occasion in September in conjunction with the completion of the new building. Please make plans to be in town on the morning of September 27 for this very special occasion. More details will come in the following months, but save the date! In the meantime, if you have a story to share about how God has used the body or ministries of GSFBC to impact you or your family, please share it with us by emailing [email protected] with 75th Anniversary as the subject line!

[email protected] With so many ministries in our church, sometimes it is hard to know what is going on in all of them. Often exciting things that happen get overlooked, and we need your help to make sure we are celebrating all of the incredible things God is doing in our church! If you have a personal testimony or know of something that God has done specifically within a ministry here at Geyer Springs, please share that story with us at [email protected]. Thank you for helping us celebrate the good things the Lord is doing here at Geyer Springs!
