Baptism

What is Baptism?
Baptism is a physical picture of a spiritual change in one who has been beautifully wrecked by the Gospel. It is a picture to be seen and celebrated by others revealing our restored relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Baptism is also a public profession of a private faith. Jesus told us that if we will confess Him before men, He will confess us before the Father. Thus, we honor Him by boldly standing before others in baptism waters!

 At First Baptist Church, we practiced believer’s baptism by immersion. 

Who should be Baptized?
Anyone who has made a genuine profession of faith in Jesus Christ is encouraged to follow His example and obey His command to be baptized as a public profession of one’s faith in Him.  

If you have not made a commitment to follow Jesus, we would love to answer your questions and help you learn more about what it means to be a Christian.

When should I be Baptized?
You can schedule your baptism date with our pastor. We are able to baptize on almost any Sunday morning.

Join a Bible Study

We believe that the Christian faith was never meant to be lived alone. Simply put, we are better together. At First Baptist Church, we strongly encourage everyone to be involved in a small group Bible study.

We study God’s Word to hear from Him and to better connect with each other. We meet throughout the year, both on campus and off. 

Although most groups’ curriculum consists of a study of a book of the Bible and discussion, some utilize topical studies and even video-based tools like Right Now Media.
