Every Member a Servant

Every Member a Missionary

As followers of Jesus, we are called to use whatever God has given us to serve Him and meet the needs of others. We invite you to use your time, talents, and treasures to advance His kingdom through the ministries and missions of First Baptist Corsicana.

You may be able to lend a hand, say a prayer, give a hug, or be the hands and feet of God’s love in our community and around the world. NOTE: Membership tenure and a background check will be required for anyone desiring to serve with children or teens.
