Welcome to Your Church
This is your invitation to make yourself at home in a church where all are welcomed and loved. As you explore these pages we hope you will come to know the family of faith that is represented. We hope that you will join us in our journey to follow our Lord. We are meeting together in our traditional manner, but we also believe value and include people who are not yet ready to resume in-person worship. Even now our faith can flourish. See below the ways we celebrate the love God has for us.

No matter what you have done or become or promised to be; never forget that God made you, knows all about you, and loves you unconditionally.
May his Divine love change you from the inside out and when it does you will know what grace really is. Even more, realize that this pervasive, persistent, and powerful force called 'grace' is the best thing you will ever discover...
And when it finds you, your eyes will be opened and you will see there's nuthin' but grace.
Welcoming and Grace Affirming
You are welcome at First Baptist Church no matter who you are or how you are identified. We take the words of Jesus very seriously who said, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me..." That is an unconditional welcome and the only kind of welcome the Church of our Lord should need to offer. To impose limits upon who might be allowed entry is contrary to the words of our Lord.

God's Grace is the good news that we are all loved, all valued, all God's children. Therefore the Church is meant as a place of diversity and unity. The only way that can be done is GRACE. The Apostle Paul said it well: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28 NRSV)
