Ministries
The dynamic of a church body operating within the sphere of spiritual gifts is a real testimony to the world around us. In a self-centered, self-sufficient culture, where isolation and disconnectedness seem to be increasing, this kind of inter-dependent, accountable, relational atmosphere will seem like an oasis in a desert. People long for this kind of connection where love abounds.
Take a moment and look at the ministries listed in the column to the right. How exciting to see so many ministry opportunities! As you look through the list and read about all the wonderful things God is doing through the people of First Baptist Church, you may be surprised to find out how much has been going on behind the scenes. But if you are looking to get plugged in to a place of service that matches your talents and abilities, you're in the right place. With so much to choose from, you're sure to find something that you are passionate about!
There are a few people who are called by God to mission in the wider community outside of First Baptist Church. Their calling is of no less importance than any other calling. Click on the "Missions" link in the right column. You might be surprised to discover what ministries are listed.
Maybe God is calling you to a ministry that is not listed. If that is the case, do not hesitate to contact someone on the leadership team to discuss your mission.
