About US

Welcome to FBC

First Baptist Church has a friendly, family atmosphere with lots of smiling faces. We try to make everyone feel like they are at home during our church service. Our Sunday service starts with a devotional period. We also have a “getting to know you period” where we play music and we encourage everyone to walk around and greet each other. This is a great way to get to know people and ask questions.

Above all, we want our guests to relax and find us to be a loving, caring people who at some time in the past, was also a first-timer! Come and see us. We’re expecting you!!
