WELCOME TO FBC

A church where all are welcome, valued, and invited to join us as we follow Jesus.

For over 225 years, we've been helping spread the good news of God's love in the Twin Cities area and throughout the world. The way we do it may change, but the message never does.

When you come to join us for the first time,

one of our greeters will be glad to help you become comfortable. If you'd like, they'll help you find the nursery (which is fully staffed and safely run), children's Sunday School room and restrooms, and of course, the sanctuary.

During the service,

you'll hear our faith in God and Jesus Christ expressed in the songs we sing, the prayers we offer up and in our pastor's message. We are committed to bringing truth from the Bible in such a way that it is understandable, relevant, and applicable to our lives.

After the service

each month, you can join us for a cup of coffee and give us a chance to get to know each other. Say hello to our pastor and anyone else you see. We'd all love to hear your story and share ours with you.

No matter what your Christian background is (or isn't), we hope you'll join us on Sunday. Here at First Baptist Church, you'll find people of all sizes, shapes and colors, and we welcome everyone to join us as we follow Christ--including you. Our service starts at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday.

OUR MINISTRIES

"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works."
Hebrews 10:24

At First Baptist Church, we have a simple hope: to see people come to know Jesus Christ and grow in their Christian faith.  Our ministries come in all shapes and sizes.  Please come and join us.

Children's Ministry

Our Children's ministry allows children to have fun while learning about good news of Jesus Christ.  We seek to create a caring and loving environment for all Children. Children's ministry is available for ages 4-12 each Sunday morning after the Children's Message in the sanctuary.  Nursery is also provided for each Sunday morning.

Youth Ministry

Our Youth Group provides a casual supportive atmosphere where young people from 6th through 12th grade are encouraged to develop their personal relationship with the Lord and bring the time tested wisdom of the Bible into their complex daily lives. F.I.S.H. - Friends Inspired to Serve Him - meets Sunday evenings at the church from 5:30-7:00pm in the ABBA room downstairs. We also get together for social outings and participate in dynamic Christian events like Kingdom Bound.

Men's Ministry

This informal gathering of enjoys a Monday evening study with a focus on growing as Christian men. Prayer is a regular and vital piece of every gathering. In addition to this, we share in a variety of activities throughout the year to build Christian friendships and to serve the Lord and our church through service. Men's group meets Mondays at 7pm.

Ladies Ministry

G.R.A.C.E Women's Group meets Monday evenings at 7pm for Bible study, fellowship, and encouragement. Our mission is to grow in our faith and to build strong relationships with our friends and community.

Bible Studies

Adult Sunday School - Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the church dining hall (with social distancing). We are going verse by verse through the Old Testament Book of Genesis.

Digging Deep - Wednesday Morning Bible Study 10:00am, held at the church and also on Zoom. Call for details 585-289-3883. On Wednesday September 11th we will be resuming a study with Pastor Ron through the New Testament Book of Ephesians.

Nursery

A safe and loving nursery is provided, allowing parents to comfortably focus on our worship service.

Summer in the Son

Our latest ministry for children up to age 9 during the summer when we don't have our regular children's Sunday School. The children enjoy videos like Veggie Tales that provide lessons and discussions for their Sunday church experience.

Coffee Hour

Once a month after our worship service, we have extended fellowship over coffee and goodies. Come and meet some great people just like you!
