What can you expect with First Baptist Church Hillsborough?

A brief history of First Baptist Church Hillsborough

 

We come together as servants of our Lord Jesus Christ:

To worship openly and joyously,
To share fellowship with each other as the body of Christ,
To bear witness to the word of our maturing faith in God and His salvation in Christ.

We seek together to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We minister in Christ's name to believer and non-believer because our Lord gave us the charge to love our neighbors as ourselves.

It is with great joy that we welcome you to worship with us. Our sincere hope is that you will experience the presence of God with us and that you will discover our community to be a welcoming and encouraging one. May God bless you.

What can you expect with First Baptist?

Worship
At First Baptist, we put great energy into worship. We strive for excellence in all we do because it is not for us but for God. We believe strongly in our unique, God-given identity to embrace the best of our worship traditions while at the same time exploring the best of what is new and innovative in worship.
Discipleship
At First Baptist, we focus upon making genuine disciples of Jesus Christ. Whether you are new in your faith or have walked with Jesus for many years, we concern ourselves with the spiritual growth and maturity of the Christian church. We focus upon study and service, and we anticipate every Christian using his/her gifts in the overall ministry of the Church. As a church we are seeking continually to grow in the practice prayer, which undergirds every effort of the community.

Testimony
We are striving to follow God's call faithfully into the mission and ministry endeavors for which God has prepared us. We serve locally, in our state and nation, and outside our national borders. Currently, FBC has an ongoing relationship with a sister church in Venezuela where we go on mission trips annually as circumstances there allow us. Our hope is to see God open other doors for increased opportunities as we become a people who live and breathe missions and ministry.

 

The Love of Family
As sons and daughters of our heavenly Father, we seek to live as family. We intend to live before the world as a community of love, faith, reconciliation, and understanding, always showing the vitality of the Holy Spirit that indwells God's people. To say it biblically, we seek to be the body of Christ in the world.
