First Baptist Church Georgetown greatly appreciates the dedicated service of our military men and women who are defending freedom at home and abroad.The Military Support Group’s purpose is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support and encouragement to the families of military personnel involved in every branch of service. Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7pm in the choir room (towards the back and beneath the Worship Center).

What occurs at a Military Support Group Meeting?
- Prayer for those on active and inactive duty.
- Notes and letters of encouragement are written to those currently serving stateside and abroad.
- Guest speakers include veterans, chaplains, and recent tour returnees, with a positive perspective, things you won’t hear in the national news.
- Special package mailings during holidays.
