First Baptist is a warm and welcoming
community that strives to live the Christian faith with an open heart,
an open mind, and an open spirit.
We are not afraid to ask tough questions as we seek to be wise and
intelligent Christians in the modern world.
We freely embrace people of diverse backgrounds and experiences,
welcoming them into our lives.
We strive to faithfully engage the great issues of our day by reaching
out into our world with God’s love, justice, and mercy.
We would love to have you share with us in our life together
as we join in following Jesus Christ.

Our Shared Beliefs
God loves all people unconditionally and
seeks a personal relationship with every person.
God offers forgiveness and hope to heal our lives and make us whole.
Jesus shows us who God is and who we can become.
God is present, speaking to us through prayer, the Bible, other people,
and creation.
Beyond these shared values and beliefs, a
great diversity of personal faith, beliefs, and values is found and
treasured within our community.
We expect no conformity to any creed.
