This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days.

For nearly two decades, our church has partnered with the community to fill backpacks with school supplies for Watauga’s children — and more importantly, to share the Gospel. Last year, two children accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Praise God! This year’s rally is Saturday, July 25, from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. If you’d like to volunteer, join us for Backpack Stuffing on July 21 at 10:00 AM at First Baptist Watauga, or check in at 8:30 AM on rally day. You can also give to this ministry through our giving flow. Come be a part of what God is doing in Watauga!
