MISSION:

BE A CHURCH OF DISCIPLES WHO MAKE DISCIPLES

The Mission of First Baptist Church is “Making Disciples Who Make Disciples.” Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples. What is a disciple of Jesus? A disciple of Jesus is a person who is committed to following Him, spend time with Jesus, and become more like Him.

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20 ESV

VISION:  

BE A CHURCH THAT GIVES ITSELF AWAY

Our mission is what we do and our vision is how we do it. The way First Baptist Church fulfills our mission, Making Disciples Who Make Disciples, is by “Giving Ourselves Away.” Jesus made disciples by giving Himself away. He gave his time. He gave his teaching. Ultimately, He gave His life to make disciples.

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” Philippians 2:5-8 ESV
