Welcome to First Baptist Church!

First Baptist Church has one purpose: To help people in our community and around the world know God, love God, and serve God. It is our vision to become a growing community of committed, caring Christians who reach out to unchurched people across Ocean County, helping them become the people God wants them to be through combined ministries of relevant Bible instruction, contemporary worship, and compassionate service.

   Celebrating a Relationship
     The Ultimate Friendship

You’ll often hear this little saying in Christian circles: “Life is hard, but God is good!”  Even though it’s true, it can come across a bit glib or flippant.  Life is hard, and God is good.  He often gets us through the hard times by placing good friends in our lives.  On this Friend Day at First Baptist, let’s think about “The Ultimate Friendship.”
