Mission Statements
Connecting with others to experience and express the love of Jesus Christ at home and around the world.
The Great Commission
The Great Commission in Matthew chapter 28 verse 19 tells us to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." In the late 80's our church took this scripture to heart. Since then both youth and adults have spent thousands of man-hours serving the Lord. Missionaries from First Baptist go to share the gift of salvation, and to lend helping hands in areas such as construction, remodeling, etc. They have served in and around the lake area, throughout the United States, and around the world. At the present time we sponsor and support churches and missions in Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico.
While our goal is to send missionaries around the world to share the saving power of Jesus Christ and to help in areas of needs, they come back with a blessing that cannot be measured in time or money. First Baptist encourages every member to be involved in mission opportunities.
