Discipleship Pastor Rhett Totten

God has created all things to result in glory and praise to Him, and we at 1st Baptist desire to be part of that wonderful endeavor, as we learn more of God's Word (the Bible), and grow to become more like Jesus Christ. It is our joy and hope to help men, women and young people from all walks of life be healthy and growing disciples of the Lord. Of course, we cannot do this in our own strength, but God has sent his Holy Spirit to graciously empower believers to manifest His life through us. A truly abundant and purpose-filled life comes from Him.

"Even though God requires perfect holiness to gain eternal life, what great news it is to learn that the perfect righteousness of Christ is undeservedly credited to all who sincerely rely on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to pay the death-penalty for our sins. It's a free gift to those who trust in Him, and who don't rely on their own failed "goodness" to credit them before God. It's all by God's grace, and we encourage you to join us as the Lord ministers His joy, hope and love to His people."
