Our Services

What are services like?
* Feel free to come casual or dressy. We have no dress code, whatever makes you comfortable is great with us. * Sit anywhere you like, there are no assigned seats. * Beware of friendly people – someone WILL speak to you. * Your kids are safe and they’ll have fun in Kidz Quest, a worship experience designed especially for children in Kindergarten-5th grade. * A spacious, clean, well-staffed nursery and preschool classes are provided for those children 5 and under.

What is the community like?
A small town with hard-working people. Less manufacturing and more tourism over the last few years. Because of low taxes and scenic beauty, the twin counties are poplar for retirement and many people have summer vacation homes in the area. A great place to raise kids.

What if I'm not a Christian?
First Baptist is a safe place for seekers to hear the life-changing message of Christ without pressure or judgment.
