Our Ministries
First Baptist Church strives to be engaged in the community in a variety of ministries and outreach activities. See below for just a sampling of all we do.
Youth and Children's
Ministry
Our ministry to children begins with a staffed nursery for children ages 0-4. We have age graded Sunday School. We provide various children's events through the year. Every fifth Sunday is Youth Sunday, where our youth lead the service. We have a Vacation Bible School every summer. Our youth meet on the last Sunday of each month for a time of lesson and fun. Special activities are scheduled as the need arises. All children are welcome at all events. Rev. James Eliot is our Youth Minister.
CHOIRS
We have an active music ministry including adult choir and youth choir. We provide choir specials every Sunday as well as the praise and worship music. Adult choir rehearses on Wednesday night at 6:30 PM, and Saturday morning at 10:00 AM. All are welcome to sing in the choir. See our Music Director, Joan Sacco for more detail.
