REVITALIZATION CHURCH - A NEW DAY
First Baptist Church of Estero is having a NEW DAY. The Church was founded in 1953 by our sister church, First Baptist Church of Bonita Springs. The church experienced growth through the years that followed up until 2002. There was an event that almost caused the church to close its doors, but because God was not ready for that to happen; He raised up some key leaders to help regain the momentum of growing a New Church.
First Baptist Church of Estero began its NEW DAY in 2003 when it called Bro. Phil Messenger to be its first New Day pastor. Bro. Phil helped the small number of people that were attending begin to explore the idea of calling a full-time pastor. Bro. Phil's leadership helped a revitalization church seek new vision and direction. On January 1 of 2005, First Baptist Church of Estero welcomed Pastor Frank Brand as Senior Pastor.
Pastor Frank came from First Baptist Church in Sellersburg, IN where he was serving as Pastor of Youth and Family. Since Pastor Frank has been serving here, the church has seen hundreds of new people coming, joining, and following the Lord Jesus Christ in Baptism.
Fortunately, the lay leadership along with the Pastoral staff have witnessed a New Day for First Baptist Church of Estero and we would invite you to come and see what God is doing here and how He wants to involve you and your family.
