| Greetings, | | | Grace be unto you and peace from God, Our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you" (Phillipians 1:2-3). As Pastor of Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church, I welcome you to our web site. We are blessed to have worshipped as a family for over 130 years. Our history states, "We are the first place of worship for African Americans in the City of Eustis, FL. We are thankful to our fore parents for having the vision and a mind to bring their vision to reality. God continues to bless us here and we invite you to come grow with us. | Our goal is to "Reach the lost souls for Christ". "For the son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10). He has commissioned His Church to witness everywhere, His love, mercy and goodness to every creature.
There is no greater love than the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that as you view the information about our church, you will feel the love of Jesus Christ that exists in our fellowship. "Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen" (Ephesians 6:24) In His Service, Rev. William "Billy" Hawkins, jr. M.A. Th., Pastor | YEAR OF SACRIFICE“By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
