Church Motto
First......that all may know Jesus.
This is the motto of First Baptist Dayton, TN
taken from 1 Timothy 2:3-5.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,"

From the Pastor:
FBC Dayton Family!
Numerous times in every generation, God’s people have experienced moments of spiritual renewal!
These are times when hearts are awakened and faith is rekindled! Often communities are transformed, and from time-to-time renewal has poured out statewide or even nationwide! We call these moments revival. But revival is more than a special event on the church calendar; it is a movement of God that works deep within our soul.
Do you have a hunger for more of God? We should recognize our need for Jesus everyday not just in difficult times.
The Bible says, that when we draw near to God, He draws near to us. The question is not whether God is willing to revive us, but whether we are willing to repent and humble ourselves before God.
William McKay said in 1863, “Revive us again, Fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above”
Do we long for revival? Or do we settle for a lukewarm, mediocre, or stale relationship with the Lord?
Pastor Bob Schafer
