          WMU - Mission Moments
We are about our Wednesday Night Missions Groups. We learn about missions, pray for missions and do missions as we learn about Jesus and sharing His love with others. These programs are proven to help children and youth have servant hearts and thy tend to be less selfish and less self-centered as they serve and help others. We appreciate parents and grandparents bringing their children!

           Media Center
In the corner of the Media center/Library by the office door there is a section titled "Book Nook Share". These books, CD's & DVD's are for anyone that are members of our church. You do not have to check them out or return them. Just Enjoy!  

           White Christmas
Each year, First Baptist Church locates 24 qualified families through local services. This is an opportunity for at least 24 members of our church to actively engage with hurting families.  During our visit we will let them know where the food comes from, who we are, and provide a short prayer of  thanksgiving if they would like.  This continues to be a very powerful mission opportunity for our Church.

In addition, each homebound church member receives a gift and a visit from one of our members.
