24 hours can seemingly be not enough time for you to keep up with your busy work schedule, take care of all your errands, successfully raise a family, and/or nurture your marriage, let alone walk and spend time with God.
Our goal is to help you be more productive at work, have a healthy marriage, and/or build a great relationship with your children while keeping God #1 on your priority list. Whether you’re a single adult, a young-married couple, or a mature couple with children, we’d love for you to join us Sunday mornings for a time of fellowship to meet fellow adults and couples and to listen to sound, biblical teaching to help you have a successful Christian life.
Single and married senior adults can discover how to maintain a healthy relationship with Christ by strengthening their faith and staying active. We provide ways for seniors saints to develop lasting friendships through regular outings and activities while growing in Christ together.
We believe every person deserves a chance to thrive and grow in God at First Baptist Church. Our Special Needs Ministry reaches out to children, teens, and adults with physical, cognitive, and/or emotional disabilities and gives them the proper love, tools, and care to help them develop spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
As a single adult, you face many unique challenges in your life that rest on your ability to make the right choices. Some of you are establishing where you will be going to school and what career to pursue, while others of you are simply trying to establish where you belong and what you believe about God, church, and faith.
We want to offer biblical guidance and spiritual support to help you navigate these challenges successfully. Activities, community service opportunities, and Bible studies will help you build friendships and to grow in the Lord. Join us on Sunday mornings at 9:30 in one of our single adult Bible classes. The teaching is practical and helpful, and you will be welcomed as a friend.
