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.

Motto

The Homebound Ministry was begun in 1999 with James 1:27 as our inspiration. Caring people of First Baptist serve as volunteers in this ministry. At this time we have 20 homebound people and 16 people in area nursing homes, but the list changes constantly.

Our church has a sing-a-long service at High Hope Nursing Home the third Thursday of the month at 3:00 p.m. Our pastor, Dr. David Holder, gives a short devotional and we also have several of our own volunteer to sing solos and duets to bring the light of hope and joy to their lives. There is also a teddy bear ministry in place, and during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, baskets are taken to the homebound.

If you know of someone who needs to be added to our list, please call or e-mail our This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with the information so that our volunteers can minister to their needs.

"The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Manage them well so that God's generosity can flow through you. Are you called to be a speaker? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ. All glory and power belong to him forever and ever. Amen." I Peter 4:7-11, NLT

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me. ~ Matthew 25:40

Mission Statement
