The congregation of the First Baptist Church of Nashville had just gathered for worship on Sunday morning, February 11, 1862, when the news came that, after a bloody four-day battle, Confederate Fort Donelson had fallen to the Union Army.

Dr. Tom Nettles is widely regarded as one of the foremost Baptist historians in America. He will speak on Baptist Confessions of Faith. Currently with Founders Ministries, he has served as Professor of Historical Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and taught at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. Following the service, join Dr. Nettles for a Q&A session with lunch in the Fellowship Hall. Cost for the lunch will be $6.00.
