Our Church History
In 1902 a journey began. First Baptist Church was begun by a group of dedicated people who committed themselves to minister to the people in their community.
They sacrificed much, and they made it a priority to share the Good News of Christ to those who would hear.
Today we are on that same journey. The faces of our members have changed, but the commitment to Christ has not.
As you get to know our congregation, you will come to understand that we are here because of what has been done by past generations and we stand dedicated to this same mentality as we continue to share Christ with all the generations to come.
The journey is not over. We have not arrived at the end. until then, we must stand ready and prepared to share with any and all what Christ can mean in their lives. When we are faithful to the end, our journey will be fruitful.
Beginning in July 2023, renovations started for the first time on our sanctuary of over 50 years. Most of our sanctuary had remained in original condition, just as it was upon its construction in 1971. It served us well for many years, but was in need of serval updates. During the renovation process our sanctuary saw a technology overhaul, as well as some fresh paint, new floors, seating, stage, and even the inclusion of the stain glass windows from the first sanctuary space on our campus that is now home to the gym. On January 21, 2024 we held our first service in our newly completed sanctuary after gathering in our church Fellowship Hall for the 6 month renovation process.
