Our Purpose

At First Baptist Church, our purpose is simple yet life-changing: to love God with all that we are, to love people the way Christ loves us, and to reach the world by sharing the good news of Jesus. Everything we do—from worship and teaching to serving and sending—is shaped by this calling. We exist to be a church where people encounter God, experience genuine community, and are equipped to live on mission every day.

Our Beliefs

First Baptist Church joyfully affirms the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as our statement of faith. It provides a clear summary of what we believe the Bible teaches and serves as a guide for our doctrine, preaching, teaching, and ministry. While the Scriptures remain our sole authority, the BF&M 2000 helps us express our convictions and stay rooted in the historic beliefs of Baptist churches.

Our Staff

At First Baptist Church, ministry isn’t just about programs—it’s about people. Our staff is here to walk with you, encourage you, and help you take your next step in following Jesus. Each team member brings unique gifts and a heart for serving both our church family and our community. We’d love for you to get to know the people who help lead and serve at FBC.
