OUR VISION
No matter your stage in life, there is a place for you every week here at First Baptist Church. Children, teens, young adults, couples, and mature families are all finding God’s grace and practical bible principles that make a difference in their lives. Our purpose is to love God and have a personal relationship with Him. We grow together, in Christ, through the study of His Word.
OUR CORE VALUES
We value the preaching and teaching of the Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, and has authority over us in all matters of faith and living. We are committed to equipping Christian’s, through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word, to follow Christ in every area of life.
We value prayer
We believe that God desires His people to pray and that He hears and answers prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities of First Baptist Church are characterized by our reliance on God through prayer.
We value ministry
We believe that the primary responsibility of the Pastor and teachers of First Baptist Church is to prepare God’s people for service. As the people are prepared through training, leadership, responsibility, and accountability, ministry is accomplished.
We value excellence
All that God does is done in excellence, and we labor to follow His example. We believe that Jesus Christ deserves the best we can offer. As His servants, we strive to live and minister with all our hearts, as working for Christ, and not men. This is achieved when every person uses his God-given special gift to the best of their ability.
We value growth
We believe that God desires us to reach as many people as possible with the life changing message of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and then to see them grow spiritually. Therefore, we pursue that which will allow us to grow numerically without compromising, in any way, our integrity or our commitment to the Bible.
We value people
God values people so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, for us. Because people matter to God, they matter to us. At First Baptist Church we are unwilling that any person should miss an opportunity to hear the good news of what God has done for them. We orient our church and our individual lives so as to give every person an opportunity to respond to Jesus. We seek to build authentic relationships and friendships with each other. Because we value people, the needs, concerns and issues which are important to people are important to us.
First Baptist Church has been, and will continue to be, a lighthouse of truth in the Webster area standing true to the Word of God.
