First Baptist Church
Mens's Ministries
Being a man in today's society is no easy task. There is pressure to be a good husband, father, and provider. The demands of highly competitive work environments and the traditional male stereotype have produced reluctance among men to build close friendships with others. There is confusion regarding what it means to be a "real man". Yet, in the midst of these pressures there is a movement amongst God's people in this land to encourage, equip, and mobilize men to be men of God in their home, church, workplace, and community.

The purposes of Men's Ministries at First Baptist Church are to influence and guide men to be devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, who daily experience transformation, develop and nurture relationships, and grow as leaders. As these purposes are fulfilled in men's lives, it will impact their family, church, workplace and all of their surrounding relationships and spheres of influence for the glory of God.

The Men's Ministries at First Baptist Church take on a number of forms and provide men of all ages with opportunities to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and share their journey with one another.
