Welcome to First Baptist Church! Our vision is to make a positive impact upon the city of Odem by creating a city-wide family center in which all are welcome - a place where all individuals and families can grow and flourish in faith and discover God's plan for their lives.
We are committed to making a positive impact by continuing to serve and helping others experience the "perfect peace" that comes from faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to the Holy Spirit.
We hope you'll join us this Sunday for an encouraging worship services. You'll feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as we worship together through music, prayer and a message from the Bible. Everyone is welcome!

A PLACE FOR YOU




Join us as we celebrate our 100th Anniversary at First Baptist Church of Odem. On Saturday, April 28th we will have a picnic in the park across from the church along with basketball, volleyball, swimming and just good visitation in the afternoon.
Sunday, we will have regular worship service in the morning at 10:45 AM followed by dinner on the grounds and then at 2:00 we will gather in the sanctuary for singing, testimonies, and reuniting with old-time friends. Please call the church office at 361-368-4091 by April 15th to RSVP for the dinner on Sunday! We need a count for the caterers. Can't wait to see you all for a wonderful celebration!

Join us as we gather at a different restaurant each month for a relaxing evening of food and fellowship. This monthly fellowship time is for all ladies in the church, friends, and guests. LNO helps women connect with one another in a comfortable and casual environment and develop new friendships while being encouraged by the Body of Christ.

Every third Saturday of the month we have a Men's Prayer Breakfast in the church fellowship hall. We meet, have breakfast and prayer time together at 8:00 a.m. All men are invited and encouraged to come.
