The Purpose and
Objectives
of this Church are:
Our mission as a church is to "Exalt Christ and
Love People" We endeavor to be a friendly church consisting of Bible
believing Christians from all walks of life. Our beliefs are Biblical, our
emphasis is evangelistic, and we stand on the doctrines and beliefs of historic
Christianity.
Our desire is to accomplish two main goals found in
Mark 12:28-34. Christ stated that the greatest commandment is to "love
God" first and foremost and, secondly, "to love your neighbor."
With this commandment in mind, we seek to "Exalt Christ and Love
People" in our worship, ministry and outreach.
 | With
this commandment in mind, our first goal is to “Exalt Christ” in our worship, our ministry and in our outreach.
Realizing the word “exalt”
means “to lift up or magnify,”
we seek to lift up and magnify the name and person of Jesus Christ. That is
why we desire to worship Jesus Christ with traditional, Christ-honoring
songs and hymns, and why we place strong emphasis on Bible-based teaching
and preaching. In our Sunday School, in our youth meetings, in our outreach,
and in our individual lives—in every way--we endeavor to “Exalt
Christ” as the One worthy of honor and glory.
|
| Our
second goal, as a church is to “love
people.” As a shepherd cares for his flock, so our pastor cares for
the members of the church family by providing caring and loving pastoral
leadership. Our pastor’s goal is to faithfully feed and nurture the flock
of God through expository preaching and thorough Biblical teaching, as well
as promote an environment that encourages believers to maturity and to
participate in

A
loving and caring church family is a vital part of
First
Baptist
Church
. We realize that families are more than just companions for fellowship,
families need to work together to mold lives and shape character. Loving people,
however, goes beyond the boundaries the ministry. of our church property. The
ultimate expression of our love for others is to introduce as many people as
possible to Jesus Christ and to help them develop a loving relationship with God
and their fellow man. Through our outreach program, we seek to make Jesus Christ
known to our neighbors, our nation and world. Our outreach program provides the
wonderful message that God desires every person to know forgiveness of sin and
eternal life through Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. We seek to show
the world that God wants to save men, not to condemn them. Our goal is to use
the most effective Biblical means to impact our world and to make a positive
difference in our generation.
