Big Flatts Baptist Church

What are services like?
After Sunday School, we mingle and talk (fellowship), and then settle in for service. Our Pastor, Billy Norris and his wife April can both play the piano, so April usually plays the piano and Billy leads the singing, which is done out of good ole, actually new church hymnals. The only time any other music is played is when we have special singing. No big bands or light shows. I am the single Deacon here, and it is a big church with a newer fellowship hall. This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like posting this info, but felt led to. As I mentioned in the section for attendees’, we are a modest sized congregation, but as the Matthew 18:20 states; For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. You can feel the Holy Spirt when you walk in if you are searching for Him, and you’d just have to experience it for yourself. There’s no other way to describe it. We anoint folks with ailments and other issues with oil and pray over them. We have seen so many miracles happen here with myself being one of them. There will always be trials and tribulations, sickness and death. We pray, believing our Lord knows what we are praying for before we even start. Most of us who attend (in a world without Jesus) would have succumb to a long time ago to sicknesses and diseases we have been afflicted with. Long story I know, and I could keep going. All things are possible to those who truly believe and have faith in Jesus.

What is the community like?
Don’t reckon anyone who has ever visited was treated like a “visitor”.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Knowing your NOT a Christian is most of the battle. Letting go of this world and letting God take control is only something each individual can do. We can surely help steer you in the right direction. Most folks who are born again Christians will struggle at times with their own salvation ( i. e. Once you have been born again, faith believing, your eternal salvation can not be taken from you, not to be confused with never really being saved in the first place. If you are truly a saved/ born again Christian, you will know it). Satan is working hard to bring as many down as he can. Being a Christian these days is not easy. Personally, I have no doubt I’m saved by the blood of Jesus. Is life for me easy? Well, I definitely have my share of issues to deal with daily. Am I a perfect person? Absolutely not! Not even close. What gets me through each day? Knowing beyond a doubt my sins are covered, that I have my Lord to talk to, and that He will get me through whatever this rotten world can throw at me. Once again, I could keep talking, but hopefully what I’m trying to get out makes sense;)
