First Baptist Church

What are services like?
Our times of corporate worship are centered on the exaltation of the Living God, through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. This includes preaching and teaching the word of God, singing, prayer, giving, baptism, communion (Lord’s Supper), and times of confession. Regular attendance to the Sunday morning gathering is integral to being a part of FBC Fortuna. All ages join together to worship. Small noises are a part of raising godly children. Find peace knowing we are pleased to have children with us to worship the living God. And pray diligently for those who are raising their children how to still their bottoms and their souls to hear the word of God.

What is the community like?
We are not a loosely affiliated group of believers. Rather, we are a community of believers who renew our covenant together every month. We do this to remember that we are devoted to one another. The Bible teaches that Church Membership is not something to be taken lightly. Therefore, our church members covenant together to live towards one another in a particular way. Our covenant is not meant to be a list of do's and don'ts. Instead it is meant to outline what we mean when we say we that belong to FBC Fortuna.

What if I'm not a Christian?
In the beginning... God created everything. Not only did God create everything, but because he is good, he also gave us the law. The demand of the law was perfection. Failure to obey the law perfectly came with the penalty of death, but the reward of obedience was life. Instead of obedience we have each chosen to disobey God's law. The Bad News. We chose to sin. Therefore, sinners, who are condemned to death, are in need of forgiveness of sin and salvation from death (the wrath of God). The Good News (Gospel) Sinners can be forgiven and can be saved from death, their sins, and God’s wrath through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone. ​ Now What? Those who have been saved are commanded to obey the gospel by: Repenting (turn from sins to Jesus) and Confess (make publicly known) your sins. Believe that Jesus Christ is God. Be Baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Commit yourself to a local body of believers (a church). And make Disciples of all Nations. ​ Want to learn more? Then join us this Sunday. We look forward to meeting you.
