Serve

We seek opportunities to serve our community. 
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to be his hands and feet in this world. We take this calling seriously and actively seek out opportunities to contribute to the good that is happening within our neighborhood(s), our country and the world; for no other purpose than to do good for good sake and not to grow our church or convert people to our religion. 

We eagerly partner with other churches, other faith groups, and community organizations to impact the world in positive ways. We welcome you to join us in this effort.

Mission Work 

First Baptist Church is a mission minded community that looks for opportunities to contribute to the good in the world whether it is feeding teens at the Youth Resource Center or sending money to dig wells in Haiti. We are always looking for ways to express our faith through action. 

We eagerly partner with many different organizations combining our efforts. In addition to providing needed services, we also feel called to advocate for social justice reform and to be a prophetic community standing up for the humanity of all who experience oppression and exploitation. In other words, if people are rallying around a good cause, we will be there.

Social Justice

Building on the tradition of Walter Rauschenbusch and Martin Luther King, we are a church that believes that to be a Christian is to stand with the poor, the marginalized, and the voiceless. We turn our faith into actions that lift up those who are being forgotten and to stand up with those who are left out. 

For us this can mean taking place in marches, becoming active in the new sanctuary movement, soliciting our legislature, providing aid, or advocating for justice in an unjust world.
