First Baptist Church Biloxi is set to open an exciting new addition to our church campus —the Gathering Place, a beautifully designed space situated where the library was once located.

Additionally, the Gathering Place will include a coffee station and guest welcome area. Also on this Sunday, a limited-edition painting titled "Under This Roof," will be available for purchase. Proceeds from the print sales will go towards the roof fund. Attendees can have the painting signed by the artist, making it a meaningful keepsake for years to come.
