adult ministry

Our Adult Ministry is devoted to seeing that our adults have personal relationships with God through Jesus Christ. We encourage adult believers to be strong and committed to glorifying God by joining Him in His work and purpose. 


Discipleship 

A disciple is someone called to live in Christ, equipped to live like Christ, an sent to live for Christ. 
Here at First Baptist Church, our Discipleship Bible Studies and Discipleship groups are planned and designed to equip believers to live like Christ that they may go live for Christ.

Our ministry of fellowship activities develops a bond between generations and encourages outreach.
Some of our core values are: 

  • Encouraging adults to “press on” toward spiritual maturity through recognizing the importance of Bible Study, worship, and prayer. 
  • Recognizing the value of the prayer ministry of our church by encouraging prayer privately and through organized ministries such as First Prayer.
  • Emphasizing the importance of each adult being on mission and in ministry. Influencing the present and the future through stewardship, relationships, and legacy. 
  • Celebrating fellowship through games days, organized trips, fall foliage tours, picnics, annual golf scramble, mission ministries and many other events.

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”


John 4:7-8


women's ministry

First Baptist Church's women's ministry exists to glorify God while promoting growth & unity among the women of our church through Bible study, missions, & fellowship.


The Women’s Ministry is available to help women come to understand God’s complete purpose in all areas of their lives…family, health, ministry, the workplace and personal spiritual growth. Our desire is to assist, equip and encourage women no matter what season of life they are in.
