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.

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.
