Our Mission
- To be a church striving to be more committed to God as we develop disciples.
- We encourage our members to develop better spiritual growth habits and we provide enabling infrastructure for that to take place.
- We stress ministry and not maintenance, so that our members can discover their spiritual gifts and utilize them to the glory of God.
First Baptist today is a hopeful, expectant congregation. We mandate a ministry that is reverent yet relevant. We are contemporary without compromising our faith or belief. We make a great statement and witness for God through our ministries. We are expecting God to add His Divine Exclamation Point!

Our Vision
- Create a worship style in the context of celebration and praise, through preaching, with music being a key part of the worship experience.
- To have a major commitment to community. We believe that a church cannot be judged on its worship or material holdings alone, but the witness of the church in the community is a telling thermometer of a church’s witness.
- Through our Imani Intergenerational Development Corp. to restore and rebuild our community
- We envision incubating businesses and seeking to revitalize the Hull Street corridor; providing assistance to the needy in the form of food, rent assistance, and financial advice; partnering to serve our senior population at the South Richmond Senior Center.
