Why do we exist as a church

MISSION:

First Baptist Church exists to love God, love our neighbors, and love the nations by reaching those who are far from Jesus and making them mature followers of Christ.

VISION:

To become an equipping and sending hub of multi-cultural disciples across the region and beyond.

HOW WE GET THERE:

This means we center everything on Jesus and the Gospel. Jesus is our focus as we reach unbelievers, mature believers, and multiply leaders.
