Living and Learning as God’s People

At First Baptist Church, there are many opportunities for you to: Worship the King, Learn the Word, Serve the Lord, Enrich your Life, and Build Lasting Friendships.

Worship The King…
 
The main reason we come together as a family of God is to worship the Lord. When we humbly put our faith and trust in Him, we receive His blessing, guidance, and peace that passes all understanding. Join us each Sunday as we worship!

Serve The Lord…
We’re privileged to serve the living God. We count it a responsibility and an honor to serve others as Jesus Christ served us. At our church, there are many opportunities for you to use your gifts to reach out to others. Here are just a few:
 
Food Pantry
Nonperishable food items are collected for distribution to families and individuals in need. A volunteer staff serves several hundred families every year.
 
Landscaping
Our beautiful property is the result of many volunteers who cut the grass, weed the flower beds, and maintain a beautiful setting for our church’s ministry. Helping hands are never refused!
 
Music
Our Sanctuary Choir always has room for volunteers! We also welcome special music from vocalist and instrumentalist.
 
Missions
Summer mission trips give volunteers a “hands-on” opportunity to serve others. Recent mission trips have included opportunities for service in Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, and Mexico. At the local level, we provide services throughout the year for the Dover Interfaith Mission For Housing. Additionally, we have a special focus and outreach to children living in poverty.
 
Teachers
Kids Konnection teachers and aids are special people! We treasure our volunteers who help instruct our young learners about God’s love.
