Serve
One of the best ways to get connected and one of the ways to serve Jesus here is through one of the ministries at First Church and in your community! There are several opportunities both inside your church and outside the church that we can help you get involved in and make a difference. We want to partner with you to find God’s plan & purpose for your life. We are passionate about getting individuals out of the stands, and onto the field!
Baptism
Baptism illustrates Christ’s burial and resurrection, and is your entry into a new life in Christ Jesus.
“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.” – Romans 6:3-5
