At First Baptist we believe that all people are made in the image of God, blessed with unique gifts and abilities, and that part of the joy of church is naming these gifts and offering opportunities to use them.

Help our Nominating Committee know where and how you would like to share your gifts. You may also nominate someone who you feel might be called to this work by writing their name and the area of service in the space at the end.

Nominations must be made by September 23.

Committees and Servant Teams
