First Genesis Baptist Church: Matt 6:33 – “Making Disciples for the Kingdom of God”.
- We see our members, in their commitment to God, increasingly being formed into the image and character of Jesus Christ, striving toward sanctification and holiness.
- We see each person becoming a servant leader, who sees his or her relationships in neighborhoods or schools or workplaces as opportunities to show God’s love.
- We seek to empower the Believer through the Five Fold Ministry as described in Eph. 4:10-12.
- We are a Church that seeks to unite the Word and Spirit to affect the World.
- As a Bible Believing Teaching Church we seek to:
A. Impact every area of the Believers life (Spiritually, Mentally and Financially)
B. Empower the Believer through the Word of God
