Easter is coming on April 4. It's not too early to invite a friend, neighbor, coworker or family member to our Easter services. Please begin praying right now that God will do something God-sized in our church family on that day. Begin praying that God will do something God-sized in your own life that day, too.
Take the Next Step
At some point, most people who begin attending First begin to ask, "What's my next step?" So we've created Next Step! Next Step is our upgraded three-week membership information class. It’s a great way to learn a great deal about our church. Attendance at Next Step does not obligate you to join. However, completion of all three weeks is a part of the membership process here at First Hattiesburg.
