Come dig in to God’s Word, as we work together through extended texts – verse-by-verse.
Come enjoy a cup of coffee, your favorite tea, pastry, or meal as we study the Scriptures with an eye towards rightly understanding what it says – not what we would LIKE it to say, or even what we might have long believed it says. Let the Word speak for itself, taken in-context and with a mind towards the truth.
TUESDAYS @ 2PM

What is “Revival”? For some, the idea of revival is simply a momentary block of days on a calendar where a church tries to connect people to Jesus. For others, revival is a more inward effort to rekindle and foster a passion for Jesus Christ, for the gospel, for a life of holiness and empowering.
There are two possible definitions for what we at First Baptist Church are actively praying for:
In short, we are hoping, though powerful ,Christ-centered preaching and intentional, focused prayer to experience a genuine reconnection and recommitment to Christ and His mission for the church. For some of us, that may mean addressing besetting sin, for others it may represent finding peace in our troubled times. And yes, for some, it may mean the first real encounter with the risen Savior in saving faith. Regardless, it is our prayer and overwhelming desire that we all are renewed, refreshed, and strengthened in our walk, and that the Love of Christ would so fill us that none can miss that we have been with Jesus!
But we also recognize the warning found in 1 Peter 4:17 “For it is time for judgment to begin with the house of God”.
We will have a time of food and fellowship each evening beginning at 6PM, with the preaching service to begin at 6:30PM.
If you would like to bring a musical special any evening, please reach out ASAP so that we can get you on the schedule.
Our preachers:
SUNDAY: Bro. Harold Smith, FBC of Roland, OK
MONDAY: Bro. Wes Brown, Plummerville FBC
TUESDAY: Bro. Derrick Bremmer, Denver Street MBC (Greenwood, AR)
WEDNESDAY: Bro. Todd Spradlin, Quitman FBC
FirstMEN meet on the first Saturday of each month for breakfast, fellowship, and a relevant devotional with discussion. All men are welcome! There is no mandatory fee for breakfast, though we do have a voluntary contribution box to help offset the cost. The official time to eat is 8AM, but several gather at 7AM to cook and have pre-breakfast fellowship as well!
This group also plans events and opportunities for both service and leisure. In April of 2023, several of us gathered for breakfast and then traveled to Tulsa for the Wanamaker Arms Show! We would love to include you in our events and fellowship as we seek to grow in our relationship with Christ and one-another as brothers and men of God!

WHERE? First Baptist Church (322 S Main St., Cave Springs, Arkansas)
As we begin the new church and literature quarter, we have partnered with our associaitonal publishing department Baptist Publishing House to encourage both members and visitors to “come back to Sunday School”, or at least in our case – what we call Bible Fellowship Classes. Between those who let the pre-worship service Christian education portion of their spiritual growth efforts slide as COVID tured the world upside-down, to those who have simply grown cold to the idea of classes and studying the Word, Sunday School attendance for many churches is at historic lows. Our desire is to remind all of the importance of coming together to study God’s Word as an integral and extremely important part of our overall Christian Education efforts as a church. and remember – we have classes available for literally every age and maturity level. All that is missing… is you!
Make an effort and pray about your participation! May we grow together in faith!
First Baptist Church is excited to host a one-day conference for Students, Youth, AND ADULTS! The conference theme, The Way of Peace will focus on the church and why the church is still important – and the role that Christ still has for His churches today, and why we should still engage the world, THROUGH His churches. The Scripture focus for this conference will be Ephesisnas 2:11-22.
The planned conference schedule is as follows:
Worship Led by Josh Burns

First Baptist Church of Cave Springs is excited to announce our 2020 Bible Conference titled “Make Disciples“.
Of all the purposes Jesus gave for His church, the primary purpose left was to make disciples. Yet no other responsibility is as misunderstood, undervalued, or unfulfilled as this Great Commission to make disciples. Making disciples isn’t a program, a literature series, or simply attendance of church services. Discipleship is far more, expressed as the simple expression:
Or as we of FBCCS are learning, it is as Acts 2 portrays it – Life Together.
The conference will run from Sunday, March 29 – Wednesday, April 1, beginning each evening at 6:30PM. Each speaker was selected through extensive prayer with a goal of inviting those with a proven passion and track record of disciple-making. Each carries with him a unique set of experiences and insight that you will find encouraging, convicting, and possibly most important: equipping.
One thing for certain – we must step up our investment in one-another to genuinely Make Disciples. Mark your calendars and prepare to be engaged on this extremely urgent and often forgotten purpose for the church.
Sunday, March 29 – Bro. Bruce Short, pastor of Maranatha Baptist Church in Newport Arkansas, a congregation that crosses demographics and ethnic lines to reflect a true cross section of the community. Their model truly fits the “…of all nations” found in the Great Commission. Bro. Bruce planted the church church, beginning as a home Bible study, in the early 1990’s, growing to organize as Maranatha Baptist Church, a thriving body of believers driven in large part by active and intentional discipling relationships.
Monday, March 30 – Bro. Jim Elliff is founder and president of Christian Communicators Worldwide (CCW). For nearly twenty years prior to the beginning of CCW, he served as teaching pastor or on the pastoral team of churches in Florida, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. In addition to his writing and travel, Jim began Christ Fellowship of Kansas City in 2003. This unique church is made up of home congregations in the Kansas City metro area, and has grown significantly through intentional and powerful hands-on discipleship.
Tuesday, March 31 – Bro. Wade Allen is the lead pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Rogers, Arkansas where he began serving in 2014. Prior to his service at Temple, Bro. Wade served 12 years as a missionary/church planter with Baptist Missionary Association of America, primarily serving in the Philippines.
Wednesday, April 1 – Bro. Micah Powell. Bro. Micah has served in the capacity of worship leader, youth pastor,
pastor of adults, as well as camp evangelist, youth rally speaker, and has passionately pursued discipleship as his core ministry drive. Micah believes that every generation within the church has a responsibility to each other under God to engage one-another, to walk along side one another, and to personally invest in one another in such a way as to build one another up in their Christian walk – in short, to disciple one another. “Discipleship is costly and can get ugly – but it is so worth it.”
First Baptist Church of Cave Springs is excited to present our 2nd Annual Bible Conference #BIBLECON2019:
#FBCBIBLECON2019
In a world that is in need of the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ – there is troubling diversity of views and variations of the so-called “gospel”. Only one gospel saves – and it is not a sugar-coated pill or a message of financial prosperity. The gospel that redeems lost souls is not a promise of some kind of social justice or deliverance from worldly oppression.
No, the true gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel that truly changes people from the inside-out, that transforms lost sinners into regenerated children of God. It is a gospel that is sweeter than honey to those who believe, yet foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18).
So – how do we know which gospel is the true gospel, and which is accursed? That is what this year’s conference is all about – answering the question: What IS the Gospel?
Each evening, beginning at 6:30PM, we will hear from a the Word of God through a man who is driven by the Word and a passion to see the truth proclaimed. Come to be encouraged, strengthened, and to grow in your faith as you are equipped to discern the gospel that was first preached from all the rest.
