    Hello...just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt and I'm a recovering sinner. Of course I don't think I'll be rid of my disease until I'm called home :).

    Welcome aboard! :thumbs:

    R U originally from JAX or did you possibly arrive there via the USN (or maybe by some other venue?)?

    Since I'm from the Nashville TN area, we won't mention NFL teams!

    Actually, I could care less about any kind of sports [pro, am or any other level]. That may be one reason I don't frequent the Sports forum.

    AAR, good to have U w/ us!

    Tell us more about First Coast BC!!

    Thanks for the greetings!

    I was raised here in Jax...no military affiliations. I'm a Cowboys fan though I haven't watched an NFL game in about 7 years.

    First Coast Baptist is an independent baptist church associated with the BBFI. It's (what I consider) very conservative in it's doctrine. We are a very mission minded church, supporting in upwards of 100 missionaries. We also do multiple mission trips each year. Pastors are normally long time residents, which is mostly a good thing :). It's a church with a long history in Jacksonville, starting out being named Beaver Street Baptist.

    First Coast Baptist.

    Hello Matt;

    You are my neighbor to the north. In fact I will be at your Church this afternoon to see my niece play some basketball for your school. :thumbs: My sister and her husband are members of First Coast Baptist. Both their sons are graduates of First Coast Christian. One is in Tenn at college and the other has moved to Missouri with his wife.


    Your brother in Christ;

    Mel
