A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR KEVIN
DEAR CHURCH FAMILY
Dear Church Family,
Every year, I ask God to give me a theme for our church. The theme God has given me for 2026 is Growing Together for the One! Although 2025 was a record year for our church as God “showed us His glory”, I hope you are as excited as I am about the future. I am excited to be a part of a church that is truly making a difference locally, nationally and internationally.
As Fincastle Baptist Church is one church in multiple locations, this theme of Growing Together for the One reminds us that everything we do is to be “For the One”. There’s a vertical element “For the One” (Jesus). There’s also a horizontal element “For the one” (Others). For the one who doesn’t know Christ. For the one who is not in church. For the one who you interact with. For the one you haven’t even met yet.
Growing Together for the One is a spiritual growth campaign that prayerfully will also have some financial results. This special campaign will begin with a six-week emphasis on spiritual growth
The campaign will begin with a kickoff on Vision Sunday, January 11, 2026, and will be supported by a special sermon series, connect group lessons, children’s church lessons, Ignite Student ministry messages, church wide prayer events and special dinners/lunches and several town halls.
Simply put, you don’t want to miss church on Sunday, January 11th.
Until They All Know,
Pastor Kevin B. Cummings
Senior Pastor
CAMPAIGN PURPOSE
Fincastle Baptist Church is now taking a step of faith to provide adequate space for the current and future growth at all our campuses. These additions will provide the space necessary to allow Fincastle Baptist Church to reach further and impact our community for Jesus.
If fully funded, the Growing Together for the One campaign at the Fincastle Campus will provide a parking lot expansion as well as the construction of a new Student Center. This Student Center will be constructed so that one day it can be expanded into a new Worship Center. At the Highlands Campus, this campaign will provide new windows and doors, handicap access, and a worship center renovation. At the Rockbridge Campus, this campaign will begin a building and land fun for an eventual campus relocation as well as double the kids and students’ spaces.
The Growing Together for the One campaign is simply the next step toward accomplishing our vision of
“glorifying God by helping people come to KNOW God, GROW in God, and LIVE for God.” As the church seeks the Lord and His provision in this stewardship campaign, may we keep an eye on the One – Jesus – and the one – who is not here yet.
