Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (1888PressRelease)
March 24, 2008 - Who - Pastor David Williams, a graduate of Hyles-Anderson College in Hammond, Indiana is planning a new outreach oriented ministry in the Tampa Bay area. Pastor Williams was seen on most major networks during the Terry Schiavo ordeal playing his guitar and violin and even preaching on the street in front of world wide media.
What - Bay Area Baptist Church is an old fashioned church but with a new day flair for technology, outreach, and ministry. There are plans for soul-winning ministry, bus ministry, youth ministry with many types of activities and clubs, college ministry, telemarketing ministry, hospital ministry, elderly care ministry, welcome ministry, we care ministry, jail ministry, military ministry, deaf ministry, blind ministry, mentally handicapped ministry, Spanish ministry, homes for wayward boys and girls ministry, family shelter for homeless families, rescue mission, elderly care shelter ministry, truck stop ministry, music ministry that includes professional musicians and a music conservatory for music of all instruments, children's ministries in all seasons, Christian schools for elementary, middle, and high school, advertising ministry, internet ministry, radio and T.V. ministries. Pastor Williams has a real vision and because of his sending church in Hammond, Indiana, First Baptist Church, he has access to trained staff to handle every one of these ministries.
When - The hope is that with some news releases and other types of advertising there will be enough interested families that will respond to the poll on the church web site so that a date and place can be established by the fall of 2008.
Why - Pastor Williams and his wife have lived in the area now for the last 15 years and have seen many changes in the Independent Baptist presence in the bay area. Pastor David Williams feels that many of the people who loved the Independent Baptist movement and the emphasis on soul-winning and bus ministry have been displaced, as it were, and possibly looking for a church like this to come along.
Where - The church web site has a link entitled "location" and on that page instructions are given to participate in a poll. There is a facility that Pastor Williams is aware of on Ulmerton that would be not so far from Feather Sound to the East.
How - The only way that a ministry of this magnitude can move forward is by the generous giving of Christians and local businesses. It will move even faster if everyone that reads this press release and is interested in this ministry will visit the church web site at http://bayareabaptistchurch.com and respond to the poll or visit our church blog site which has a link on the front page of the church web site. Please write, or call with your name and contact information.
