 Tradition
First
Baptist Church has been located at the Kimbrough Street location since
1881 and is considered the oldest congregation in Mesquite. At First
Baptist, we are referred to as a “traditional” church believing that it
is our responsibility as Christians to “continually” pass down the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to each generation. Jesus Christ is the
foundation of our church's teaching and we believe that the Bible is the
true inspired Word of God.
Leadership
We look
to the Lord Jesus Christ as our ultimate Shepherd and strive to follow
the path He has set before us even when at times it could be a “rocky”
one. Our pastor,
Brandon
Ridgeway,
preaches and teaches from the Bible and is truly a man of God. His
vision is to reach the lost of Mesquite for Christ. With everything
taking place in our country today, he leads our staff and church family
to discover new ways to reach out to the families of our community to
meet them where they live.
Choosing A Church Home
 We
believe that Christians should seek God’s will in what church they are
to attend and then follow that leadership. I have a saying
that we hold to be true “everyone is a minister with a ministry”. We
are constantly challenged to recognize that we are one body with many
members standing united through Christ alone.
If you
don’t know Jesus as your Savior, we will consider it a privilege to help
you know how to come to a saving relationship with our Lord.
There
are many areas of service available for those who want to serve at First
Baptist. As Christians, it is our job to allow the Lord Jesus to place
us where
He wants us to serve – whether it is teaching, singing, welcoming
members/visitors, serving time in the nursery & preschool area during
worship, etc.
It is
our desire that you pray to discover where the Lord would have you go to
church. We would gladly welcome you as part of our “family”. We
believe that when you're attending the church the Lord has chosen for
you, it will truly be a joyous experience in serving Jesus!
We invite you to
come worship with us!
God
bless you!
