| First Baptist Education |
| The mission statement of First Baptist Church
states that,"…we seek to change our community by modeling Christian
principles and ethics as we proclaim the love of Christ." More
specifically, we offer opportunities for worship, fellowship, missions and
ministry all of which are designed to proclaim the love of Christ.
It is our goal to offer a variety of programs for all ages, from
preschoolers to senior adults, for spiritual growth, and hands on mission
endeavors. The educational experience is geared toward fellowship
and outreach. It is important that our members and guests experience
a friendly, engaging, and receptive environment where they grow faithfully
in their relationship with Christ.
Since our beginnings in 1874, First Baptist has stood firm to the
historic principles of priesthood of the believer, the authority of
scripture, and freedom of the individual. First Baptist is also
involved in a number of mission organizations which proclaim the
liberating power of Christ through all the earth. Mission
organizations supported by First Baptist are: Mt. Zion Baptist
Association, North Carolina Baptist State Convention, the Cooperative
Baptist Fellowship, and the Southern Baptist Convention. In addition
to these organizations we also seek to cooperatively work with other
churches and social organizations in the area to support community and
world mission needs.
