Reverend Joe Sanders has been here since January of 2007.
What a wonderful blessing it is to be a follower of Jesus Christ, to be a part of the family of God, and a member of First Baptist Church of DeKalb. God is good to us. Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we have been filled with the light of His salvation that we might shine the glory of God so that the people we encounter will put their faith in Jesus Christ.
May God's blessings be with each one of us.
Pastor Joe
