God has given gifts to every single one of His people for the purpose of building up the church, and He has equipped you with everything you need to do His work.

First Baptist has a number of ways for individuals to put their gifting to work by serving the Lord and one another. As you explore the ministry needs of our church, prayerfully consider how you can use what God has given you for His glory.
