Karen Emphasis at First Baptist, Burlington
We have been blessed over the past decade to form a strong bond with many families from our local Karen Community. We recall the life and work of Adoniram and Ann Judson who served as the first American Baptist Foreign Missionaries in Burma (now Myanmar) over 200 years ago. Over the past few years many Karen families have arrived in Burlington as refugees from Burma and many of them are Baptists and part of the Judson legacy. The Karen Baptist Community has a Karen-language service at noon each Sunday in our sanctuary and we also regularly hold joint worship in both languages. Our relationships with these families are strengthened through our Church School, potluck meals, working together on projects and helping with citizenship studies and school tutoring.
Service Time: 12:00 pm, Sundays
Pastor Thee Say leads worship along with a strong music ministry.
