Help Us Transform FBC Blanco for VBS!
We’re hosting multiple in-person workdays in early July to create and hang decorations throughout the church — and we’ve got projects for all skill levels. Whether you’re crafty or just willing to help, we’ll make it easy and fun!
Here’s what we’re working on:
Entrance Area & Photo Op
Help set up the backdrop and photo spot next to our balloon arch. Simple setup, big impact!
Flower Power Hallway
Giant paper flowers will cover the hallway near the adult Sunday School rooms. MAKE SOME AT HOME and bring them or help us craft, hang, and fluff on site!
Sanctuary – Butterfly Helpers Needed
Elaine and Rebecca are leading the set design but need help making and hanging paper butterflies. Light crafting, easy instructions, and lots of color.
Ant Wall (Outside the Sanctuary)
We need folks to cut out paper ants and help build a fun display like last year’s school of fish. Great sit-down project if you like scissors and simple assembly.
Tree Tunnel Hallway (To Kid Check-In)
We’re creating giant trees and a leafy ceiling using butcher paper and hanging decorations. Super beginner-friendly and fun to do as a team!
Fellowship Hall – Magnifying Glass Bugs
We’ll hang oversized “magnifying glasses” with little bugs and VBS posters inside. You can help cut, glue, or hang. Think artsy assembly line.
Back Hallway – Bee Hive Theme
Buzz-worthy decorating for the hallway near the back classrooms. Honeycombs, bees, and all things yellow and black!
We’ll have supplies ready — you just bring yourself (and maybe a pair of scissors). You can sign up for one area or come to multiple days. Every little bit helps!
GUESTS, WELCOME!
If you're looking for a place to belong, we have groups designed for women, men, kids, youth, and moms to grow in faith and community. Explore our Bible studies, community groups, and home groups to discover where you can connect and deepen your spiritual journey. Visit our Classes & Groups page for more details.

HERITAGE
Our Roots
Fourteen years after Texas became a state in 1845 and one year after Blanco County was formed in 1858, the church was founded in 1859 with five charter members and a traveling circuit preacher.
Initially the church met in homes and in community buildings until finally in 1902 it had its first church building. One of the members at that time was Rebekah Baines, mother of Lyndon Baines Johnson. In those days the church was known as Missionary Baptist Church.
In 1951, the church moved into a new building on Hwy 281 and changed its name to First Baptist Church Blanco.
That building still stands and is currently the Rain Bird Gallery. The current church building at 1200 4th Street

That building still stands and is currently the Rain Bird Gallery. The current church building at 1200 4th Street
was built in 1975, and is strategically located across from Blanco High School and next to the Blanco High School sports fields. The church is within a mile of Blanco Middle School and Blanco Elementary School.
Throughout its history the church has been focused on families and missions. As early as the early 1900s, the church sent Loella Bell as a missionary from the church to Mexico and supported missionaries in China and elsewhere. The church raised money for those affected by the typhoid epidemic and other disasters. The church also provided support for the Buckner Orphans Home in Dallas which has continued to prosper into the Buckner Baptist Children’s Home today.
