We love people that God loves.  We love boys and girls, men and women as God loves them. We want to do anything in our power to share the saving message of Jesus Christ and demonstrate His love by ministering to the hurting people of the world.  “Loving the World” is exactly the right website name for our church. 

Your gifts to the Global Mission Offering and to the Budget of First Baptist Church support missionaries around the world and allow the people of the local church to become missionaries as well. Career missionaries on the foreign field and the local believers who take their testimonies and talents to the mission fields of Athens, Texas, America and around the world, are carrying out the of the Great Commission.

Each year, we take a family mission trip to South Dakota. We encourage folks of all ages to go, serve and grow. See the video from this year’s trip below.
