FBC Big Spring has a rich history of ministry for the local community, but we are hampered with multiple additions to aging facilities. Though we are blessed and shackled with expansive square footage, the abundance of space is not functional due to life safety, ADA, mechanical, and electrical problems as well as not being laid out well. We are in need of a revitalized space and campus masterplan which looks for a new way to continue "taking life to the city."

The First Baptist Church Big Spring Renovation Team is excited to share the updated facility plans for the future of the church campus. The Master Plan, as approved by the church, had four priorities and six design objectives. They are outlined below.
Since 1886, First Baptist Church Big Spring has stood as a beacon of the gospel in our city—proclaiming Christ, discipling generations, and ministering to the needs of our community. We are grateful for the faithful legacy that has been built on prayer, sacrifice, and service by those who came before us. Their vision has given us a foundation from which to launch into the future.
As we look ahead, we recognize that our current facilities—though filled with history and memories—must be updated to meet the needs of today’s ministry and tomorrow’s mission. Renovation is not merely about updating buildings; it is about preparing space for God to move. We seek to create environments that are safe, welcoming, accessible, and equipped for every generation—from the youngest child to the oldest saint.
This renovation project allows us to honor the past by preserving our heritage while also stepping boldly into the future with renewed purpose. It is a declaration that we believe the best days of ministry in Big Spring are not behind us, but ahead. We are designing spaces that will reflect the heart of our mission: to take life to the city, and the gospel to the world.
As the renovation team we ask for your prayer, your unity, and your faith as we walk together through this season of growth and transformation. May God continue to use First Baptist Church Big Spring as a place where lives are changed, the gospel is proclaimed, and Jesus is glorified for generations to come.
