Ministry Opportunities
We offer many opportunities for spiritual growth throughout the week.

Sunday School
Sunday School at First Baptist is alive and exciting! Qualified teachers in every class are committed to the spiritual and knowledgeable growth of each member. Each lesson is Biblically based and each student is encouraged to open up the Bible, not only on Sunday morning but throughout the week. Elementary classes focus on building strong Biblical knowledge while Jr. and Sr. High classes build upon that foundation. Several options for adult growth offer a culturally relevant, purposeful look in the Word of God. Whether you are a new believer or a long time Christian, Sunday School at FBC is an opportunity to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
