Church/Ministry Name : First Filipino- American Baptist Church- Ashland
Location: Russell, KY
Ministry Description/Vision: We are a Christ-Centered, Mission Minded, and Family Loving Church. Christ is the center of our worship, in our service, and in our preaching and teaching. We love missions and are passionate about reaching the lost at any costs. We love our biological and church families. We have a regular Bible Study at the store with 6 to 8 in attendance. The said Bible Study from Panera Bread has been moved to Elena's Manila Asian Store at 1562 Diedrich, Russell, Kentucky 41169. These people are excited to support the New Work or to establish the First Filipino- American Baptist Church. We will continue to reach out to the Filipino Community around Tri-City/Tri- State (Ashland, Kentucky, Ironton, Ohio, and Huntington, West Virginia) and its Vicinities. Last year, we partnered with the Filipino group/Fil-Am Organization in their Christmas Party with more than 100 in attendance. This year, we are looking forward to formally Launching our Church, and at the same time having a Christmas Party for Filipinos. We are looking forward to having a Fil-Am Independence Day Party wherein we will gather the Filipino-Americans for Music, Games, Fun, and Christian Gospel Centered Movie. The Asian Store where we Conduct our Bible Study will be the Hub in reaching out to the lost and new Immigrants. Hopefully by next year, we can keep the Church Moving forward as the First Filipino Organized Church in the Greenup Baptist Association. We are in the process of Negotiations for our Place of Worship. If this will happen, the next step is to work with the owner in starting a Student Ministry. Praise God.
