Our community has lost another Leader making an impact for the Kingdom; please keep Pastor Jeff's family, friends and associates - and First Baptist Opelika in your prayers.
"Dear FBCO Church Family,
It is with deep sadness that we share the news that our beloved Pastor Jeff Meyers went home to be with the Lord last night. As a church family, we grieve this tremendous loss together, even as we hold tightly to the hope and promise of eternal life in Christ that Pastor Jeff preached so faithfully.
Pastor Jeff served our church with unwavering devotion, compassion, and humility. His love for God and for people was evident in every sermon he preached, every prayer he prayed, and every conversation he shared. His absence will be deeply felt, yet his legacy of faithfulness and love will continue to shape our community for years to come.
Please join us in praying for his family—prayers for comfort, peace, and strength during this incredibly difficult time. We also ask that you respect their privacy as they grieve and make necessary arrangements.
Information about services and opportunities for our church family to gather, remember, and support one another will be shared as soon as details are available.
In the meantime, may we lean on one another, reflect on the hope we have in Christ, and trust in God’s nearness to the brokenhearted.
“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. — Psalm 34:18
