SOMERSET, N.J., July 6, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens (FBCLG) is hosting an open house on Saturday, July 9, 2016, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The open house is designed to invite community members and nearby residents to learn about FBCLG and everything the church has to offer. Rev. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., Senior Pastor of FBCLG, will host a meet and greet at 12:00 p.m. (Noon). Free giveaways will be available to every guest in attendance.

FBCLG offers a variety of resources available to the community. These resources include: youth tutoring, senior citizen activities, bereavement support, networking opportunities and more. The key mission of the FBCLG Open House is to unify the community and provide support to those in need.

"FBCLG has always been a community church," said Dr. Soaries. "This open house is a reminder that we still are. We extend a warm invitation to our neighbors that see the building, but are unaware of the resources we have to offer. Ministry work is an area we take pride in and our goal is to touch lives and be the Christians God has called us to be."

FBCLG is ready to make a connection and meet new people. The event is free and open to the public. The church is located at 771 Somerset Street, Somerset, New Jersey, 08873.
