About FBC
First Baptist is an independent congregation which holds to the timeless truths of the Word made relevant for our day. We believe that ministry is for people, not the other way around, and yet at First Baptist you will find many opportunities to serve the Lord. We live in the day of consumer
mentality when it comes to finding a church. Indeed, we are proud to offer more than most to searching souls. And yet, our people have a contributor
mentality, realizing that we never receive more than when we give our all to our worthy Lord!

"In 2019, after 25 years of ministry and having pastored just one church, my family and I were looking for God’s plan for the remainder of our years - a place where we could best serve Him. What a privilege that He guided us here - for such a time as this."
Jerry Shirley is a shepherd, evangelist, author, singer, and the founder of Grace Notes Sermon Ministry. But he is foremost our pastor!
Kimberly is the ideal pastor's wife, a concert pianist, specialist in ladies' and children's ministries, and mother to Jacob and twins
Alyssa and Aaron.
Youth Directors
Who can better lead a youth group than a couple who already has their own? Brent and Gretchen Brownell and their tribe of 9 joined our team in 2021.
Brent went to Bible college and was a police officer for many years and Gretchen grew up on the mission field of Thailand. They have children Austin, David, Allyssa, Hannah, Zachary, twins Hillary and Lillah, Bobby, and Vanessa. In addition to teen Sunday School, they lead a big midweek youth meeting and frequent outings. They are very involved in counseling and mentoring young people all week long.
What is real church growth?
While we are grateful for our recent attendance boost and enthusiasm, we recognize that spiritual growth is God’s choice measurement.
We are disciples. We are learners. We are family!
Every person needs three homes: A heavenly home, a Christian home, and a church home.
Please accept our invitation to join this family, brought together by the Lord Himself for such a time as this in a very special place...
...a place where you can “Come As You Are...and Leave Changed!”
