YOU make a difference! First Baptist Church West: The American Red Cross is so grateful for your partnership! Your commitment to host a blood drive with the Red Cross truly made a difference helping to boost the community blood supply and ensure hospital patients have the lifesaving blood they need. Every blood donation counts, and we appreciate the communities served. First Baptist Church West collected 21 units, potentially saving 63 lives! FANTASTIC!
Thanks for your continued support! |

WOMEN'S DAY @ FBC-W!

"We can rest when it's over. The reality is that we have started to lose so many of our rights because we decided to rest. We thought we had arrived. And I'm here to tell you that we have to fight for democracy in every single generation."
That was U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, imploring members of First Baptist Church-West in Charlotte not to grow weary of voting. Crockett joined U.S. Rep. Alma Adams, a Democrat from Charlotte, at the church's Women’s Day Celebration on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024. |
