Greetings from Greetings from
PASTOR CHRISTOPHER L. ROGERS, SR.
Beloved FBCC Faith Family,
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord!
As we celebrate this 3rd Pastoral Anniversary under the theme, "Faithful Preparation, Visionary Leadership," my heart is filled with gratitude and humility for all that God has done among us. Our scripture focus reminds us in Psalm 37:23, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." Truly, every step of this journey has been guided and sustained by the hand of God.
These past three years have been a testimony of His faithfulness, grace, and divine favor upon FBCC. Together, we have worshiped, prayed, grown, and persevered through every season, and through it all, God has continued to order our steps and establish our path.
I am especially grateful that, during this season, we are also celebrating our historic 180th Church Anniversary. For 180 years, God has preserved this church as a beacon of hope, a house of prayer, and a place where lives are transformed through the power of Jesus Christ We honor those who came before us, whose prayers, sacrifices, and steadfast faith laid the foundation upon which we now stand
As we continue moving forward, I remain committed to the mandate God has placed upon this ministry: Connect, Grow & Serve. It is my prayer that we will continue to connect people to Christ and to one another, grow spiritually through God's Word and discipleship, and serve our church, community, and the Kingdom with excellence and compassion. Through faithful preparation and visionary leadership, I believe God is positioning us for even greater works ahead.
Lady Tam and I truly thank you for your prayers, encouragement, love, and unwavering support. Ministry is never accomplished alone, and we thank God for every member who continues to labor faithfully alongside us. Your dedication and commitment to the vision of this church are deeply appreciated.
As your Pastor, I remain honored to serve this great congregation. Let us continue walking together in unity, faith, and purpose, trusting that the Lord will lead us into greater seasons of favor, growth, and Kingdom building, according to His perfect will.
In The Grip of His Grace,
FORWARD VISION

It is in this Christian home that he developed love and a sense of compassion for Jesus Christ and others Even as a boy, he exemplified a spirit of devotion and cared fo the needs of others more than his own. His grandmother, th great contributor and mentor to his spiritual upbringing Th “Granny” seeing that her needs were met as she grew older a These early years laid the foundation for the life and the mini
Reverend Jevon Mann accepted his call to preach the Gospe age of 18, he preached his first sermon, “Whom Shall I F Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Re was also licensed the same day. In August of 2013, he was ord of Jesus Christ. Pastor Mann received his Associate Degree i Foundation Theological Seminary He also received his Bachelor s Degree and Master s Degree in Theology from Anchor Theological Seminary & Bible Institute.
Pastor Mann served as a youth instructor as well as the late-night preaching chairman for the New Salem Baptist District Association of Illinois. With much love and compassion for his fellowman, he also served as a Police Chaplain for the East St Louis Police Department
In December 2016, Reverend Jevon D. Mann was called to pastor the Original Friendship M.B Church and served the congregation for 7 years Since then, Reverend Mann accepted God’s new divine assignment, as the St. John Missionary Baptist Church family confirmed God’s appointment and called him as their new senior pastor. With a sincere desire to administer the church according to the Word of God, Pastor Mann preaches and teaches the Gospel, leading to an increase in the weekly church attendance Pastor Mann shares God’s vision to move the St. John Missionary Baptist Church to the next level spiritually, numerically, and financially. Pastor Mann will lead the St John Missionary Baptist church to become the “Church That Reaches The Masses For The Master”
The recipient of many honors and awards, Pastor Mann is an icon among preachers and singers, as he is known not only for his preaching but also for his musical rendition of “Every Time I Turn Around the Lord Keep Blessing Me.” Yet, with this notoriety, his heart for serving God’s people remains the same as he focuses on service and not fame and prosperity, a rarity for a pastor and preacher of his caliber. A servant-leader, Pastor Mann visits the sick, serves bereaved families at repasts, counsels’ members privately, and greets members and visitors after each worship service Pastor Mann’s ministry is best accurately described in Isaiah 61:12, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
"And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them " (Ezekiel 34:23)
On behalf of the Pastoral Anniversary Committee, we want to express our deepest gratitude to every member of the First Baptist Church of Chesterfield family who made Pastor Rogers' 3rd Pastoral Anniversary a celebration to remember.
Whether you were present in the pews, lifted the occasion in prayer, or rolled up your sleeves to serve, your contributions were felt in every moment of the celebration.
As we move forward, let us remain committed to bearing fruit in service, not only to our Church, but to all of God’s people.
With grateful hearts,
Thank You
