We are extremely excited to share with you all a new ministry that will be operational this winter.
Roger Stockwell, one of our elders, has assembled a team of passionate and motivated people to develop our first ever Warming Shelter here at First Baptist Church.
There are people literally on the streets of Pocatello in the coldest of nights (0 and below!) with little to no place to go.
Not anymore! FBC Pocatello will open their doors on those extreme nights from 8 p.m. until 6/7 a.m. so folks can come in out of the cold. It will NOT be a sleeping shelter or housing. Simply a place to come in, seek shelter from the storm, get warmed up and receive a little hope and help.
We have the space...time to put it to use! If this is something that would interest you, you can contact Roger at rogers@fbcpoky.com for more information. In addition, he can tell you what teams will be needed for those nights and what type of ministry can be done.
