The First Baptist Church of Belle Glade (FBC BG) is one church with two languages. We were established in the 1930s as an English-speaking church and now we have grown to have both an English, and a Spanish speaking congregation. We are currently searching for an Anglo-Saxon Lead Pastor for the English-speaking congregation as well as an Associate Pastor for our Spanish congregation. Belle Glade is located in South Florida, at the southern tip of Lake Okeechobee and 45 minutes from Palm Beach. We are a small rural town at the center of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) also referred to as "The Glades". Our community continues to grow and we wish to continue having an impact and brining people to Jesus.
