Yes, there is a Marietta in SC

Since today is Sunday, let me just throw out that I am thankful for our church, Marietta First Baptist. This is not your typical body of believers. It is more like family.


When I was in college, my roommate and I tried out several different churches. Since both of us were kids of ministers, neither of us had ever had to look for a church, plus we were both new to the area and didn’t know anything about the churches there. We looked for several weeks – Sunday morning at one place and night at another. One weekend we had nowhere to go, and decided to check out MFBC. That was the last church that I visited.

I immediately fell in love with the pastor and the church members. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I loved the mission mindedness of the church. I loved the sermons that the preacher preached. I loved the overall atmosphere and focus of the church.

Not only did I fall in love with the church, but a few years after my first visit, I fell in love with the preacher’s son!! MFBC is where we met, fell in love and got married.

Marietta has introduced me to some amazing people – in SC and around the world. I am thankful for these people and the influence they have had on my life – most probably have no idea how much they have impacted me!! I have been a part of mission trips, Bible studies, Sunday School classes, church functions, church retreats, ministries, classes, activities, and the list goes on and on. There is always something going on at MFBC, and I love that!!

Marietta First Baptist Church is # 6 on the list.
