current sermon series!
Having celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ—our Lord being the first-fruits of resurrection life, followed at His second coming by all who belong to Him—we turn our attention to the Kingdom of God which Jesus Christ ushered in and whose community, ministry and purposes of God are being manifested by believers’ cooperation with the Holy Spirit across the world. His kingdom is not of this world; it is one of justice, righteousness, sacrificial love and complete Shalom—peace, unity and wholeness between Creator and created, between human beings and throughout the entire substance of the created order.
Join us for “We the Kingdom,” inspired by The Vision of Ephesians by N. T. Wright!

fbc crestwood & bridge bread
Recently, our church has partnered with Bridge Bread ministries, whose purpose is being…
“… St. Louis’ only non-profit social enterprise that empowers individuals experiencing homelessness by providing meaningful work and marketable baking skills, permanent restorative employment, and financial assistance for housing. We believe everyone deserves a chance to build a dignified life. Through our restorative employment and unique Housing Incentive Program, we equip our bakers with the tools and resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency and become contributing members of our community again. Bridge Bread is more than just a bakery – it’s a doorway to a hopeful and brighter future.”
The current plan for First Baptist Church of Crestwood is to submit a bread order on the last Wednesday of the month, with the order to be filled and delivered on the subsequent Sunday after church. We will communicate updates in First Edition and through the church email list. Place your order on our church event at https://bridgebread.org/.
