About Us

Who Are We?
First Baptist Church is not really a building, but a body.  Each member of our church is one of the many persons making up the body of Christ.  And, just as each part of the human body is vitally important to the overall health of the body, so each member of our church is vitally important to the overall health of the church.  Each member, serving the Lord wholeheartedly, makes the church a vital body of believers (Romans 12:4-5).

Why Are We Here?
In a few words, First Baptist Church exists to glorify God through Bible-centered preaching, reaching, and teaching in the name of Jesus Christ (Matthew 22:37-40; 28:18-20).

  • Preaching

      Central to our worship is the proclaiming of the Gospel through both sermon and song.  When we gather together for worship, we collectively praise God by exalting his word in both music and message.  We glorify God through Bible-centered preaching.

  • Reaching

        At First Baptist, we reach up, out, and in.  We reach up by praying to God and seeking His will in all things.  We reach out by sharing the love of Jesus Christ through personal evangelism, local ministry, and the support of Christian missionaries all over the world.  We reach in by ministering to one another through loving fellowship, support, and family nurture. We glorify God through Bible-centered reaching. 

  • Teaching

         We have a passion about teaching the Bible in ongoing Bible study classes.  The Bible is taught to newborns through senior adults.  We believe no one is too young or too old to benefit from high quality Biblical teaching.  We glorify God through Bible-centered teaching.

Through Bible-centered preaching, reaching, and teaching we fulfill our Lord's commission to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things" commanded to us (Matthew 28:19-20).

That's who we are.
That's why we're here.
To God be the glory!

Rev. Todd A. Linn, Pastor
