"But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight
of the keeper of the prison."
Genesis 39:21

This reference comes from Joseph's time in prison. Everywhere that he went, people could tell that God was with him—when he lived at home with his brothers, when he was a slave in Potiphar's house, when he was in prison. Having God with him did not make him popular. Consider that his brothers sold him into slavery, Potipher's wife falsely accused him, and the keeper of the prison did not release him. Having God with him did not make his life easier. However, it did cause him to be successful wherever he went even in prison. He was a successful son, a successful slave, and a successful cellmate.
Do the people around you see that God is with you? It will not automatically make you popular. Like Joseph, God's presence with you may cause other people to hate you, to abuse you, and to falsely accuse you. Yet as Joseph did, you will rise to the top like cream rises to the top of milk. With a Christian walks with God, you cannot keep him down! Do not focus on how people treat you. Do not worry about what others say (falsely) about you. Do not let others determine your attitude. Walk with God, stay close by His side, and you will come out on top.

A Message from Pastor Scott

Welcome to Elmira Baptist Church! Founded through a revival in the 1950's, Elmira Baptist Church has been a beacon of hope to the communities of Elmira, Vacaville, Fairfield, Dixon, and beyond. What can you expect when you visit us?
Worship is central to all that we do. We do not "do church." We gather to worship a God Who is worthy. Worship is not about what we enjoy. Worship is about enjoying God. Congregational singing in which all participate in worship defines our meetings on Sunday.
Also, no church can thrive without prayer. Daily, personal prayer in our time with God as well as corporate prayer particularly on Wednesday evening. And not just giving God a shopping list of things we want; rather we pray in order to cooperate with what God is doing in our world. Our supplications are for God's grace in people's lives.
Once we have prayed, our goal is to evangelize our community where we live and the people whom we know. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus is the Savior of the world. That is not merely good news for Christians. It is good news for everyone.
And after a person is adopted as God's child, we do not wish to leave him there, immature and alone. Our plan is to make disciples. Our time together in community, fellowship, and serious study increases our desire to be disciples.
Our 2025 theme is rejoicing in the Lord. We will never find joy and happiness seeking our own priorities and pleasure. Only when we seek the Lord and prioritize worship, prayer, evangelism, and making disciples do we find that joy that God has intended for us.
We are rejoicing because with God's rich provision we are occupying the new building that we began working on a decade ago. At times, we thought we would never be done. We survived switching contractors, a pastor dying, a pandemic, and a couple of building code changes. Today, we rejoice that we are using the building. Nothing is impossible for God. We invite you to come join us in our new space.
