Faith Walk Named Paver Campaign

Step by Step, We Build. Step by Step, We Believe.

At First Baptist Church, we’ve declared it for years:
“Where God guides, He provides.”

Now, we’re walking that out—literally.

The Faith Walk Named Paver Campaign is an evergreen campaign and a spirit-led opportunity to partner with God in legacy-building by sowing into sacred ground. This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a prophetic act of remembrance, vision, and faith.

What Is the Faith Walk?

The Faith Walk is a 2,151-foot engraved paver path runs around our new parking lot! Each paver will carry the names, Scriptures, dedications, and prayers of those who have walked and are still walking by faith.

Whether you want to celebrate your family, honor a loved one, engrave a favorite verse, or leave a lasting message of hope… your words will become part of the very ground we stand on. These are not just bricks. They are testimonies in stone.

Every name. Every line. Every step on that path will tell the story of God’s faithfulness through His people.

Three Ways to Leave Your Legacy

We’ve created three giving tiers so every family, individual, and supporter can take part at a level that aligns with their faith and generosity.

Tier	Location	Gift	Engraving
Legacy	Prime Areas	$300	Up to 3 custom lines (including spaces)
Impact	Mid-Level Areas	$200	Up to 3 custom lines (including spaces)
Community	Supporter Paths	$100	Up to 3 custom lines (including spaces)

You can even sponsor a paver on behalf of someone else—or as a gift to honor a beloved member of the church.

Each line of your inscription is limited to 15 characters (including spaces), giving you space to express gratitude, honor a name, or declare a word of Scripture that has anchored your journey.

Why This Matters Spiritually and Practically

This campaign is more than a project.
It’s a prophetic partnership with the future of our church.

Our goal is to raise $800,000 to $1 million enough to pay off 1/2 of the cost to build the parking lot. This isn’t about luxury. It’s about capacity.

We are preparing for growth.
We are making room for families, children, leaders, and souls.
And we are doing it in a way that honors God with wisdom, integrity, and vision.

At First Baptist, we believe in legacy without liability.
We don’t want to pass down debt, we want to pass down faith.

Order Anytime

We launched the campaign in July 2025! And those who ordered their engraved pavers at that time should be seeing those grace the parking lot soon! But no worries, you can still participate if you missed the launch.

Reserve your paver at any time online or chat with a member of the campaign committee in person after any service.

How to Purchase Your Paver

You have two options:

Online: Complete the electronic order form FIRST to submit your paver details. Once submitted, you will be directed to the secure payment link.
In Person: Connect with a member of the campaign committee before or after services. We will assist you with your form and payment (cash, check, or card accepted).

Final Word: What Will Your Stone Say?

This moment is holy.
This ground is sacred.
This walk is ours together.

So let us ask you:

What do you want to be remembered for?
What Scripture still speaks through your life?
What names or messages deserve to be etched into the story God is writing here at FBC?

Let’s walk together in faith, in love, and in legacy.

Step by step, we build.
Step by step, we believe.
Step by step, we leave a legacy.

Expanding Our Reach – One Parking Space at a Time

admin — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:10:58 +0000

At First Baptist Church Murfreesboro, our mission has always been about making room—for every heart seeking God, for every family in need of hope, and for every neighbor longing for community. On December 15, 2024, we took an exciting step forward in that mission with the groundbreaking ceremony for Phase 1 of our Building for Impact Campaign: the expansion of our parking lot.

This milestone is a testament to the faithfulness of our congregation and God’s provision. Every shovel that broke ground was more than a physical act—it was a declaration that we are making space for lives to be transformed.

Why Parking Matters

With our growing congregation, the need for expanded parking is clear. But this expansion isn’t just about accommodating vehicles—it’s about removing barriers and creating a welcoming environment for everyone who steps onto our campus. A well-designed and accessible parking lot ensures that every visitor and member has an easy and stress-free start to their worship experience.

Our new parking lot also lays the foundation for the exciting developments to come. It’s part of the larger vision God has placed before us—a vision of a new sanctuary, expanded ministry spaces, and facilities designed to serve not just our congregation but our entire community.

Your Role in This Journey

The groundbreaking ceremony was just the beginning! We believe that God has called each of us to be builders—not just of structures, but of eternal impact. This parking lot expansion, part of our $1.75 million Phase 1 goal, is a tangible way for you to help build a church where families are nurtured, ministries thrive, and neighbors feel embraced.

Pray: Continue to lift up this campaign in your prayers. Ask God to bless our efforts and multiply our impact.
Give: Your generosity is the foundation of this campaign. If you’ve made a pledge, now is the time to honor it with faith and joy. Every dollar given is a seed planted for future generations, ensuring that our church continues to grow and thrive. Haven’t started giving toward your pledge yet? It’s never too late! Begin today and watch how God uses your obedience to multiply His blessings.

Simply select “Building for Impact Campaign” when giving online or during service. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us move closer to fulfilling the vision God has for our church and community.

Share: Spread the word about this campaign to family, friends, and your networks. Let them know how they can be part of something bigger than themselves.

Let’s Build Together

Family, we’re not just expanding a parking lot; we’re making space for lives to be transformed. This is about so much more than convenience—it’s about creating opportunities for people to encounter Christ in a deeper way. As our Senior Pastor often reminds us, “When we say yes to God’s vision, He does more than we could ever imagine.”

The groundbreaking ceremony was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together in faith. But the work is not done. Let’s continue building for impact—together.

Together, we’ll make room for what’s next.
