WHY SERVE?

As with all questions, the best answer is always found in the Word of God. Jesus said in Mark 10:45 that the “Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.” We serve because there is no better way to follow the example of Christ. Jesus came to serve because of His great love for the Father and us. We serve because of our great love for Jesus and our love for others!

At First Baptist, we believe every Christian has spiritual gifts, unique abilities and passions that God has given to us for service. Discovering your call begins with prayer. Ask the Lord to give you a servant’s heart and reveal to you where you can best demonstrate His great love and grace.
