Vision Statement

First Baptist is dedicated to demonstrating its love of God through its authentic worship, loving fellowship, commitment to spiritual education and devotion to evangelism.

We provide ministry for every major life stage, from birth to resurrection. We endeavor to transcend every distraction of human origin, which opposes God’s intention for His church.

 

We acknowledge the importance of every member of our church family as a uniquely gifted child of God. We will cultivate an environment where unbelievers are welcomed, new believers are discipled and all are assisted in identifying and practicing their God ordained spiritual gifts.

No connection to ethnicity, clan or earthly family relation will supersede God’s family design. We will stimulate, grow and encourage obedience and motivate all to be all they can be in Christ Jesus.
