TIE The that binds the church & home together 

From the Pastor 

Dear Friends, 

As many of you know, we have spent 

the past few years thinking about the 

future of our church. From the calling 

of a new senior pastor and a new 

associate pastor to the completion of a 

visioning process and the beginning of 

its implementation, we have been 

listening carefully to the leading of God’s 

Spirit and thinking about who we have 

been called to be as a church. While 

there have been discussions from time to 

time about our location and whether we 

would be better served by moving off 

the corner of Washington and Piccadilly, 

we have come to the conclusion that 

there is still much to be done to build up 

the kingdom of God here in downtown 

Winchester. Our location gives us the 

opportunity to be a integral part of our 

community, serving others as we serve 

our Lord. 

As we have more firmly committed not 

only to our location but to the work 

God is now calling us to do, we have 

begun to assess the needs of our 

buildings both here on the corner of 

Washington and Piccadilly and at 

Hunting Ridge Retreat. Our upcoming 

capital campaign will allow us not only 

to make important repairs to our 

facilities but also improve them, 

equipping us to fulfill our mission more 

fully in the years to come. Included in 

our campaign will be an expansion of 

our education building that will not only 

provide new and important space for our 

children’s ministries and our preschool, 

but also help create another ministry hub 

for our church as a whole. From 

WATTS to Rise Against Hunger, from 

fellowship meals to Bible studies, our 

education building is an important site 

for outreach to our church, our 

community, and our world. We believe 

that by Faithfully Building, we will be 

able to continue the good work God has 

given us through our worship, our work, 

and our witness. 

I hope that you will mark your calendars 

with a few important dates: 

Sunday, September 30 in the CEB: 

Come learn about Hunting Ridge 

Retreat’s ministries during the Sunday 

school hour at 9:45 am. 

Saturday, October 6 in the CEB: Come 

learn about the history and future of our 

Education Building by attending the 

Men’s Bible Class Breakfast at 8:00 am. 

Sunday, November 4: Please plan to 

attend our one worship service that day 

followed by a special luncheon and 

Vision Event at Shenandoah University. 

You will receive more information soon, 

but we want you to go ahead and save 

that date. 

Sunday, November 18: Gather together 

in both services as we commit ourselves 

fully to the work of rebuilding, repairing, 

and renewing our church. 

I hope that you will join us in the work 

ahead as we look forward to the future 

of our ministries with expectation and 

hope. We place our trust in God, 

knowing that as he has started a good 

work in us so many years ago, he will be 

faithful to continue it in the years to 

come. 

God Bless You, 

Pastor Kristin

Youth Ministry 

FBC Student Ministry Values 

In September our students started meeting again on Wednesday nights beginning with the churchwide fellowship 

meal followed by games and Bible Study. During Bible study our students have been learning about our values as a 

student ministry. These values help us to see youth group as: 

-a place to be... friends 

-a place to grow... in faith 

-a place to serve... others 

These values help direct our ministry and give guidance to all programming from fun events to mission projects. 

So what do these values mean? 

A Place to Be Friends 

“I have called you friends…” John 15:15 

In the Gospel of John, Jesus calls his disciples friends and he teaches them what true friendship look like. It 

involves laying downs one's life for one's friends. For our student ministry this means time together is of the 

highest importance. As we share in life and faith we learn how to support one another and help one another. We 

believe that relationships are at the heart of youth ministry. Each event we do together—from retreats to 

community meals, from games to mission projects—seeks to deepen friendships. We like to deepen friendship 

through sharing experiences together. These include camping trips, hiking, pool parties, game nights, and more. 

We seek to create an environment where each student can be who God created them to be within the context of 

Christian friendship. 

A Place to Grow in Faith 

"...so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as 

you grow in the knowledge of God." Colossians 1:10 

We hope that each student grows in faith and knowledge about God during their years in youth group. We 

provide opportunities twice a week for students to grow in faith through gathering for Bible study and fellowship. 

Youth Sunday morning Bible study features a large group gathering followed by smaller group time of middle and 

high school groups. Our high school students are going through the ENTIRE Bible (it’s a long term study!). 

Currently they are on the book of Acts. Our middle school covers various biblical topics and themes. On 

Wednesday nights the whole group meets together for games, Bible study, and fellowship led by Pastor Kyle and 

adult leaders. One Wednesday each month we do a mission/community service project (this is about putting our 

growing faith into action). 

A Place to Serve 

"Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." Mark 9:35 

One of the primary ways we grow in the way of Jesus is by serving and loving our neighbors. Throughout the year 

our youth do hands-on ministry in our church, community, and region. 

In addition to Passport Missions Camp in Danville, VA, our students participate monthly in service to our local 

community. This year we will continue by serving at Bright Futures. Bright Futures helps address food insecurity 

within Winchester City Schools and Frederick County Public Schools. By serving at Bright Futures our students 

are helping serve other students in the community. Our hope is that each student would develop a passion for 

serving and loving others as Christ taught us.

Wednesday evenings and any 

other times they are in the 

fellowship hall.

How does it work? You dress 

up and decorate your trunk! 

Families walk to each trunk to 

receive candy and enjoy your

top three trunks!!!!

Common Cents 

IT ISN’T ALL ABOUT THE GIVING – 

We often talk about how you should be giving to First Baptist and its programs. 

But we forget sometimes to tell you what you get for your money’s worth. 

In 2018, you helped fund a Special Children’s Worship on Sunday evenings where young children learn about 

worship and prayer and Jesus in a setting designed to make them comfortable and at home in church. 

In donating to Women on Mission, you help send thousands of prepared meals to those in need. Migrant 

workers were welcomed into the area with gift bags. 

Our youth enjoyed a spirit-filled week during Passport. While they paid a large share of the enrollment 

fee, the church picked up the balance, making it more affordable for some youth. 

Since 2004, you have supported a Spanish language mission – Primera Iglesia Bautista Peniel – as a 

mission to our immigrant families. 

Your donations have supported CCAP, Habitat for Humanity, ABBA, Faith in Action and WATTS. 

First Baptist Church is a loving and caring church and with your donations and support, we can continue 

to help those programs outside the grounds of FBC. 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank You. 

-Sharon Setzer, Financial Secretary 

View from the Ridge 

What a wonderful summer we had here at the Ridge. Summer time is a very busy time for us. When we reflect 

back on summer and the countless inspiring memories, it reminds of what a blessing HRR is to FBC and to those 

that come. This summer, HRR had the opportunity to host nearly 450 youth and adults. 

Kicking off September was the Sunday Service at the Ridge. The weather was beautiful and the fellowship was 

blessed. September also brought our 2nd Annual Pancake breakfast. It was wonderful to see so many faces from 

the church. Our guests included neighbors of HRR and a family from the other side of Berryville. We will be 

able to purchase about 30 chairs with the profits of the 

Pancake Day. Thank you to all those that attended and a 

special Thank you to those that volunteered their time to help 

serve. 

The Yard Sale has been rescheduled for September 28th and 

29th due to the bad weather we were expecting. We are 

planning to hold the sale indoors, so weather will not be a 

factor. We have had a great response with donations and are 

continuing to accept donations. 

Please plan to join us on September 30th at 10 am in the 

CEB for a Hunting Ridge presentation. Come and learn 

more about your ministry and how HRR is making a 

difference in the lives of all those that come. There will be 

refreshments available. We look forward to seeing you. 

A huge thank you to Greg Miller and Vulcan Materials for their 

donation of the concrete needed to complete the last action item 

on the new well project. That project is now 100% 

complete. Thank you again to all who have helped in this long 

process. 

-Melissa Engler, Director of HRR
