Adult Ministry

The aim of Adult Ministries of First Baptist Church is to provide an environment that encourages and equips adults of all ages to fully live out their faith in daily life. The Adult Faith Journey  is a life-long process of seeking and maintaining a relationship with God by becoming more and more like Christ in beliefs (orthodoxy) and behaviors (orthopraxy).  This life-long journey of spiritual formation is expressed through Knowing Christ, Growing in Christ, and Showing Christ to Others.
For a current listing of adult Bible study classes which meet 10:15 – 11:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings, click here: Sunday Morning Bible Study.  For more information about classes and to be escorted to the class of your choosing, stop by the Sunday School Information Desk in Grand Central (by elevator and coffee station) between 10:15 – 11:00 a.m.

LifeGroups Ministry

LifeGroups Ministry connects adults in meaningful relationships with one another at times other than Sunday mornings.  These groups are set up to do life together through studying God’s Word, caring for one another, serving together in ministry, and growing together in fellowship.  LifeGroups meet during the Spring and Fall semesters. Watch for more upcoming LifeGroup opportunities.

Senior Adult Ministry

The Senior Adult Ministry at First Baptist Church offers a monthly meeting, regularly scheduled day trips, and occasion multiday trips (bus tours, cruises, etc.)  XYZ (‘Xtra Years of Zest) is a monthly luncheon meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. in Morgan Hall of the Family Life Center, featuring a short informative program, lunch, reports, and door prizes.  Reservations for lunch ($6 payable at the door) are requested by noon on the Friday preceding the Tuesday meeting.  Reservations can be made by calling the church office at 770.227.5517.
