Alongside a small sea, a lake actually, a man looked over amultitude and said, “Let your light shine…” (Matthew 5:16). For two millenniums, followers of this man named Jesus have let the light of Christ shine across the globe. We at First Baptist continue the mission mandate of Christ as we reach this region, this land, and this world.

It can be difficult to find one’s place of service in a church the size of First Baptist. That is why we have put together this Missions section. Here, you will find opportunities our church offers for our members and friends. Some of the events listed are for personal enrichment. Other opportunities that we provide are for spiritual edification. There are other programs scheduled for those searching for a place of service – mission trips, for example. The purpose of this page is to allow you to find not only what First Baptist Church has to offer you and your family, but how you can find a place where your talents and gifts can be maximized. So whether it is construction, serving food, or holding someone’s hand, this catalog is intended to assist you in becoming all God wants you to be through First Baptist Church.

This section is really not finished and it never will be. Each day God is breathing new visions upon the people of First Baptist Church. The mission field is before us and Christ has called us to serve the least, the last, and the lost. What new mission is God stirring within you? What is the next ministry waiting to be launched? There are chapters yet to be written, but those pages are waiting on you.

May God bless you and guide you through your relationship with First Baptist Church.
