First Baptist Church is a unique Baptist congregation with an historic commitment to inclusiveness, ecumenism, missions, and social justice. We honor and celebrate the inspiration of holy scripture, the priesthood of all believers, the autonomy of the local church, and the servant leadership of both men and women. As a family of faith, we commit our material and spiritual gifts to the work of God's Kingdom in our community and throughout the world. We educate persons in Christian discipleship, nurture personal and spiritual growth, minister to those in need, and embrace all who seek truth and love.
