Mission Statement

We the people of First Baptist Church of Alton, Missouri, dedicate our lives, resources, and spiritual gifts to Jesus Christ. Led by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to:

Bold Evangelism:

Witness for Christ by our lives, and by verbal proclamation of the gospel and our testimonies of what Christ has done in our lives (Acts 1:8);

Meaningful Worship:

Praise and give thanks to God, and meditate upon who He is, what He has done, is doing, and will do through Jesus Christ; and to offering our bodies to Him as living sacrifices, which is our reasonable service of worship (Romans 12:1);

Effective Discipleship:

Through the teaching of Scripture and other helpful resources, by the illumination of the Holy Spirit, equip and nurture our members for spiritual growth and service (Matthew 28:18-20);

Unselfish Ministry:

Seek to meet the needs of those in our church family, community, and (through the Cooperative Program) our state, our nation, and the world ( James 2:14-17);

Caring Fellowship:

Encourage love, unity, and mutual support in our church family ( Hebrews 10:23-25).

We further dedicate ourselves to prayer and the Bible study as essentials in fulfilling our mission.
