Men's Ministry

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Col. 3:23, 24

The Band of Brothers is a service-oriented fellowship for men of all ages. The group is active in the maintenance of our church facility, supporting our seniors with small household repairs and transportation as needed. They also play an important part in the delivery of meals for the “Bread of Life” ministry.

Women's Missionary Union (WMU)

The Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) has long been an important ministry that First Baptist has offered to the community and world. The group, which meets on the second Tuesday of every month with a sack lunch, is involved with various mission projects throughout the year.

"Next to Psalm 23, perhaps the most beloved and certainly the best-known passage in Scripture is the Lord's Prayer.  Despite its brevity, it has been an enormous benefit to multitudes of men and women.  It reassures our hearts, strengthens our resolve, and leads us into personal contact with God, our Father."  Join us for this journey as we get to know "our Father" just a little bit better and, hopefully, come to understand how our "eternal, infinite God, should delight to have us call Him, 'our Father.'"  Even if you struggled with your earthly father, come learn how much different our Heavenly Father is!   Learn how to see Him as Jesus saw Him - full of love, magnificent and unchanging.

Young family life group.

Sunday School 9:45 am

Get-together the first Saturday of every month.  Join us for pizza, movie, games, etc. in the FBC youth room.  Kids are welcome.

The desire of the Young Family and Adult Ministry (YFAM) is to bring individuals and families together to build Christ-centered friendships, so our church is an authentic "home" to us and a welcoming community to visitors. We also want to provide opportunities to invite our friends and neighbors to come check out our church community.
