(more info...)First Baptist Church has also chosen to identify with the Ohio Association of Regular Baptist Churches called the OARBC. The organization is a network of churches within the state of Ohio that associate with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. The Link is the official publication of the OARBC which is a quarterly newsletter.
At First Baptist Church, we use the New King James (NKJV) translation of the Bible. Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that would retain the purity and stylistic beauty of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translatiors applies the most recent research in archaelology, linguistics, and textual studies.
The Baptist
Bulletin is
the official publication of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches
and is published by Regular Baptist Press. The Bulletin
began as a 4-page magazine in January 1933 with the stated
objective: "To maintain a testimony to the supernaturalism of
Christianity as opposed to the antisupernaturalism of modernism."
Today the magazine is a 32-page full-color publication that informs
Association church leaders and members about events and ministries
within the Association and about Regular Baptist heritage and
doctrine, and communicates to the churches the vision of the GARBC.

the language or translation of your choice! They provide

verse, as well as other tools to enhance your study of the
