RT Fisher

The mission of RT Fisher Alternative School in Gallatin is “in partnership with parents, to encourage and equip each student with the emotional, social, and academic skills to successfully return to their home school.” On Friday and Saturday, the mission of more than 100 First Baptist members was to serve the faculty, students and parents of RT Fisher by painting the inside of their school. First Media was on hand to document our church serving the community.

While there, I spoke with Principal Bob Cotter who told me the school had not been painted in over 10 years and was not slated to be painted in the immediate future. Projects like this would typically rest on his shoulders. Principal Cotter said he was overwhelmed by the response from First Baptist to come in do what would have taken him an entire summer to do.

Because a small portion of our congregation was willing to give a few hours of their week, the students and teachers of RT Fisher will have a fresher coat of paint on their walls and hopefully a fresher perspective of Christ’s love.
