About Us
Our Beliefs
At First Baptist Church, we believe that Jesus is everything we need. Recognizing our inherent sinfulness and separation from God, we affirm that God the Father sent God the Son, Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to live a perfect life and make the ultimate sacrifice for our redemption. Through His death on the cross and resurrection, Jesus offers us forgiveness, grace, and eternal life. We believe in accepting the grace of Jesus, making Him the Lord of our lives, and embarking on a lifelong journey of transformation as children of God.
