Our Mission: Each of us, together... covering Jackson County with the love of Jesus. First Baptist Jefferson is a community marked by God's grace and committed to sharing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus with those around us. We believe God accomplishes His purposes through ordinary people like us - individually, together through community, and through partnerships with like-minded ministries
in our city. We are committed to being a place where you and your family can experience life change through God's love. We will be a church where you and your family can Follow Jesus, Grow Together, Impact Others, and Live with Purpose. Our Core Values:
RESPONDING TO GOD'S WORD
The Bible is God's Word, and therefore it is trustworthy as the complete and final authority for our beliefs and actions. We allow it to challenge and shape us through teaching, groups, in our daily devotion, and through ongoing disciple making. CELEBRATING LIFE CHANGE
God has greatly changed our lives, and we want everyone to experience His life-changing love. We intentionally share the good news of Jesus and help others follow Him, celebrating as God transforms lives. ENGAGING GENERATIONS
We think past our individual life stages, extend connections, and build bridges. We are committed to being a church that ministers to all ages, supporting effective ministry to all seasons of life. THINKING BEYOND OURSELVES
We are passionate about seeing the gospel cover our families and communities. We adapt ourselves to the needs around us - looking for opportunities to stretch ourselves, giving generously, and yielding to God's Will over ours. PRAYING AT ALL TIMES
God established prayer as the means by which we receive his supernatural help. And without it, we cannot live a life worthy of the gospel. Prayer is the most important thing you can do for the most important people in your life. That's why prayer must be central, not peripheral, in our lives and families, and ministries.
