First Baptist offers a wide variety of ministry opportunities for women. We will help you connect with other women in the church, challenge you to grow in your relationship with God and assist you in serving other believers and the community.

We believe that the first step in discipleship is to Connect to Christ and His Church. This happens through worship and fellowship.
Adult Connecting Ministry involves events focused on men, women and at times more age specific groups such as our seniors.
Men's Ministry
"...entrust to faithful men, who will also be able to teach other men..."
First Baptist Church believes the best defense is "man to man," so we encourage each man to become involved in the Men's Ministry.
