Our Vision

Our vision at First Baptist, Palmer is to bring people to a relationship with Jesus Christ, both in His family and the un-churched community.  We are about God, families and friends of all ages.  We are about love.  We are focused on reaching the un-churched, helping the sick, being a support system for the Hispanic Ministry and focusing on families. 

We have a strong vision of reaching those in our community through our various ministries, including but not limited to our Daycare, Awana ministry, Youth ministry, Visitation program and fellowship events. 

We believe in loving God through worship, loving each other, prayer, discipleship, and fellowship, and loving others through ministry, evangelism, and compassion. 

This vision guides us in our passion to make a difference in the lives of people in our community and beyond. 

Reference

Matthew 22:37    Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” 

Matthew 22:39    Love your neighbors as yourself. 

Matthew 7:12      So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.

We believe that Christians should be the “salt of the earth”, and the “light of the world” in all areas of life.

We accomplish this by first and foremost by being Christ’s people; believing that God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and that once we have accepted Jesus in to our hearts we are a forgiven people.  We stand by our Baptist doctrine.  We are firm believers in every God-breathed word in the Bible.  We believe it from beginning to end.  We believe it is the inspired word of God – true and trustworthy. 

We renew our commitments daily by evangelizing the lost and un-churched by focusing on our personal relationship with God, prayer, loving other people, caring for families including elderly, sick, children and young families.

We strive to maintain integrity and excellence in His service, and an intimacy with God that would encourage others to follow in His way.
