Welcome to First Baptist

Welcome to First Baptist Church!!! We are a “church of welcome” that invites anyone regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, socio-economical status, political or social background. You and your family are welcomed at First Baptist Church! You matter to God, and you matter to us. From toddlers to senior adults, we have ministries and outreach opportunities for each member of your family. Whether you are searching for meaning and direction in life or simply a place to call home, First Baptist is here for you and your family.

We would like to personally invite you to join us for one of our services. Our church family is a friendly, warm, caring and affirming church family. The worship is fantastic, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The messages are biblically based and relevant to your daily life. First Baptist has a “come as you are” invitation; so feel free to dress casual or dress up. It is totally up to you.

We believe that God is at work in our community and the world around us, and He wants us to join Him in that work. At First Baptist, we believe that every person is uniquely gifted to make a real difference in our church and our community. As a student, mother, father, teacher, manager, salesman, executive, professional, factory worker, farmer, or whatever you do, we believe that God can use you as a vessel of forgiveness, mercy, grace and love to everyone you come in contact with.

We value people over programs and relationships over religion. It is our desire to see the lost saved, the saved transformed, and the community impacted. We take a non-denominational approach to ministry as we seek to lead people to Jesus Christ and a victorious lifestyle by the aid and power of the Holy Spirit. Come and experience the difference!!!
