If you have you recently joined First Baptist, or are thinking about joining, you have come to the right place.
Our First Steps class is intended to help you learn more about our history, our beliefs, and our staff. We will share how you can get connected with a small group, serve with a ministry team, and begin sharing your faith in Christ with the world.
The class is held three times a year: January, May, and September. We have a meal prepared by Bob & Donna O’Toole following the 11:00am worship service.
If you have questions, please call the Church Office at 903-872-7473.
