At First Baptist Church, our objectives: To be a dynamic spiritual organism empowered by the Holy Spirit to share Christ with as many people as possible in our church, community, and throughout the world. To be a worshiping fellowship, experiencing an awareness of God, recognizing His person, and responding to an obedience to His leadership. To experience an increasingly meaningful fellowship with God and fellow believers. To help people experience a growing knowledge of God and man. To be a church that ministers unselfishly to persons in the community and world in Jesus' name. To be a church whose purpose is to be Christ like in our daily living by emphasizing total commitment of life, personality, and possessions to the Lordship of Christ. The government of this church is vested in a body of believers who compose it. It is subject to the control of no other ecclesiastical body, but it recognizes and sustains the obligations of mutual counsel and cooperation, which are common among Baptist churches. Insofar as practical, this church will cooperate and support the Georgia Baptist Association and the Georgia Baptist Convention, and the Southern Baptist Convention. We offer Bible study classes for all ages during our Sunday School hour and at various times throughout the week. We participate
in weekly prayer services o­n Wednesday nights. We offer a variety of Bible and faith-topic studies o­n Sunday nights.
