Serve
First Bible Baptist Church runs on volunteers. There are hundreds of volunteers that serve God in some capacity at First Bible some on a weekly basis. There are always opportunities for those who like to work with children, those who don’t, those who are techies and those who have never touched a calculator. If you have the time and willing heart, we have the position and the people to whom you can minister. Scroll down through this list of current opportunities to see what interests you.
