    I spent half my childhood in the creeky mysterious old buildings of First Baptist. They are still mysterious but are renovated and expanded to some point in time just beyond up-to-date. Beautiful, fully accessible, giving the impression of the huge . The sanctuary still conveys the immediacy of human togetherness within the vastness of a loving God. Of course, the architecture is just a first step in finding a fit for a church home. But the first step here is inspiring, in many dimensions.

    First Baptist Church in Sherman, TX will greet you with a warm welcome at the doors and let you know that they are glad you are there. The service starts with a time to worship Jesus with a mix of traditional church hymns and contemporary worship music. After the worship music, Dr. Mike Lawson preaches and teaches from the Bible with a fervor for the proclamation of God's word and discipleship for those who have received it.

    Grew up at this Church. My dad has been a music minister my entire life, and his ministry moved us to First Baptist when I was in 1st grade. He retired about 2 1/2 years ago. First Baptist Church is the most wonderful, Christian, loving, faithful, family oriented place you could ask for to grow up in.
