Prayer & Care

As part of the First Baptist family, we have the privilege and responsibility to pray for our church, our missionaries, and each other. It's exciting to see answers to prayer and to give praise to God for His many blessings. The prayer ministry of First Baptist Church is an essential part of all that is attempted and accomplished. You may sign-up for a time in our prayer room in our church foyer.

"My house shall be called a house of prayer."
Matthew 21:13
