Our Ministries

Come find your place! 

Preschool

We take seriously our responsibility to care for young children and will do everything possible to ensure that their time with us will be a safe and positive experience. Preschool care and activities are offered for Babies-age 4 during the 8:30 AM worship service and for Babies-Kindergarten during the 11 AM worship service.

Children

The Children's Ministry of First Baptist Church partners with parents to help children learn biblical truths, laying a foundation for salvation and Christian living.  We believe that children are very important to God, and we're dedicated to providing an excellent ministry for them. We strive to support the whole family, providing teaching and help for both parents and children. We consider it a privilege to work with children and to help them become followers of Jesus Christ. Our church offers many different ministries and activities for children such as graded bible study classes, Awana Clubs, Vacation Bible School, Royal Ambassadors, Girls In Action, and our annual Fall Fun Feast and Easter Egg Hunt.

Youth

We have a very active and engaging youth ministry here at First Baptist Church.  Our students, grades 7th though 12th, meet every Sunday morning at 9:45 AM in the youth room.  They also meet every Wednesday night in the youth room at 7 AM for the X-Life.  Throughout the year our youth are involved many activities such as summer camps, mission trips, gym nights, and ski retreats.  The purpose of our youth ministry is to honor God, love students, reach them for Christ and help them grow in their faith.  Come be a part of it!

Special Needs

Abounding Love is our ministry to the developmentally disabled.  This class meets at 9:45 AM on Sundays.  They also participate in a special Vacation Bible School.

Senior Adults

Our senior adult group is very active as well.  In addition to the senior adult Bible study groups offered, a potluck luncheon and program are held at 11 AM the second Tuesday of each month.  Also our JOY group (Just Older Youth) schedules monthly field trips to close by points of interest.   

Bible Study Groups

First Baptist Church strongly believes in the truth of the Bible and its value for our daily lives. So we invite people of all ages – from the youngest baby to the oldest senior adult – to attend Bible study groups at 9:45 AM Sundays. Our Bible study groups focus on helping you discover and fulfill God’s plan for your life, introducing you to friends who will care for you in good times and bad and giving you an opportunity to serve others – and to receive ministry when you need it.

Music

Our adult choir, hand bell choir, instrumental ensembles and contemporary praise team provide inspiring music for worship and give many opportunities for service.

W.M.U.

Founded in 1888, Woman's Missionary Union is an auxiliary of the Southern Baptist Convention that seeks to equip adults, youth, children and preschoolers with missions education and to become radically involved in the mission of God.

Iglesia Pan de Vida (Hispanic Ministry)

A Bible study in Spanish is held at 5:30 PM every Sunday, in the Church Fellowship Hall. Then, at 6:30 PM Pedro Achucarro preaches and leads the worship services. During the service, children may attend the Awana Bible Club (in English), which includes fun games, memorizing Bible verses, and lots of prizes and recognition.
