We believe that we are called to connect with God, connect with others, and connect others with God.

         First Baptist Church is a welcoming church, all-inclusive and glad for diversity.  We offer an open-minded faith space where unconditional love, forgiveness, and interfaith relationships are celebrated.

           Like the first church, we believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and the Bible is the Word of God.  We respect and adhere to historic Christian faith and Baptist principles both within the church and in our personal walk in our community. We believe our musical legacy, from historic hymns to modern day anthems, are an important part of our worship.

            At First Baptist Church, we believe that God has called us to active discipleship.  We look for pathways to lead us in growing our faith to spiritual maturity.  We believe in supporting ministries and missions with our time, talents and resources, ministering to the sick and suffering, and making sure that both women and men have a place in church leadership.
