Dear Friend,

Welcome to First Baptist Church on Fifth!

If you are a newcomer to our church, we hope you will quickly feel at home.  If you are a new member, we hope you already feel like a vital part of our church family.  If you are not familiar with First Baptist Church on Fifth, we hope the material on our Website will help you learn more about our congregation. 

Speaking of family, I want to direct your attention to our church’s mission statement that says:

We are a family of faith seeking to know Christ and make him known.

We are a family of faith… That means we place a high value on our community.  Our goal is not to be a collection of familiar strangers, but a spiritual family that shares life together through the bonds of Jesus Christ. 

Seeking to know Christ...  Our first order of business at FBCoF is to know Jesus Christ in an intimate way.  This process of coming to know Jesus, or spiritual formation, is at the top of our to-do list.

And make him known.  Once we know Jesus, we cannot be satisfied keeping him to ourselves.  Our mission is to be the presence of Christ through word and deed in our community and around the world, inviting others to come to know the same Jesus we know and love. 

This is our mission.  This is our dream.  Please join us as we strive, with God’s help, to make this dream a reality!

Warmly,

David M. Hughes
Pastor, First Baptist Church on Fifth
