MINISTRY PLAN
2021
A NOTE FROM BLAKE
First Family --
To say that 2020 turned out a little different than any of us
expected may be the understatement of the century! What a
wild ride we took. Unfortunately, I do not think the ride has
ended just yet! While we pray for a vaccine and a return to
somewhat of normalcy, I am so thankful for the intentional
ministry that continues to take place in and through First
Baptist.
In 2021, our hope is to continue our emphasis of shining
brightly for the Kingdom of God here on campus but also taking
our light into the community. My desire is that because of what
happens inside the walls of our facility, our community will look vastly different. We are committed to reaching
people with the truth of the gospel. However, we do not stop once they have trusted Christ as Savior. Instead,
our goal is to see people deepen their walk with Christ by helping them become a disciple.
As you look through this ministry plan, I hope you will see that our budget reinforces our desire to reach
people and make disciples. From local missions to age-graded ministries, to benevolence, to international
missions, our desire is to use the resources God’s people entrust to the church and to share the gospel in the
most effective way possible. This plan does not just account for money, but it displays the priorities we are
taking to expand God’s Kingdom.
Thank you for your faithfulness to give to God’s Kingdom by giving financially to First Baptist. Every dollar that
is entrusted to us is an incredible responsibility for us to manage wisely. I am more excited than ever before
about what God is going to do through First Baptist! Thank you for being a faithful steward!
In Him,
I Corinthians 15:58

Discipleship is all about connecting with God
and connecting with others. The Discipleship
and Education Ministry at First Baptist offers
small groups on Sunday mornings, discipleship
groups throughout the week, outreach ministry
events and women’s/men’s Bible studies. The
goal of the Discipleship Ministry is to equip
our members with the Word of God which
will foster relationships that are accountable
and empowered by the Holy Spirit and in turn
create faithful followers of Christ.

WORSHIP
For many of us, the greatness of God is most
strongly felt when we worship together as a
congregation. But this year, how we worship
together was significantly changed. What did not
change is the presence of God available to us when
we worship, be it in person, online or in secondary
locations around the church.
We desire our Worship Ministry to provide every
FBC member opportunities to praise and worship
God. May we always find great joy as we seek Christ
in worship, first in our daily walk as a living sacrifice
(Romans 12:1) and together as a congregation.
TECHNOLOGY & COMMUNICATIONS
We desire to use technology - from cameras and
editing gear, to sound equipment and visuals,
to stable internet in our facility - to tell the story
of God’s love and grace in our lives. Continued

FIRST PRESCHOOL
BIRTH - KINDERGARTEN
First Preschool strives to provide a biblical foundation at an early age. This team of Christian men
and women seek to partner with parents to establish a lifelong love for Jesus and His Church.
Through Bible lessons, activities and even play, our preschoolers learn what it means to live like Jesus.
The Preschool Ministry mission will always be to reach, teach and nurture our little ones.

FIRST STUDENTS
7T H - 12 T H G R A D E S
From the time a student walks down the
hallway in their first year of middle school to
the moment they walk across the stage while
receiving their diploma, we witness some of
the most formative years in their life. It is our
hope and prayer that we set up our students
for stability and assurance within their
personal walk with the Lord.
First Students seek to reach students by
providing a unique community that strives
to love God and love people. We believe
that through word-centered programs and
relational discipleship, our students can
experience the Lord in such a refreshing way
as they reach people and make disciples.

Statistics will tell you that some of the most
productive years for a person’s life are from their
60th to 70th birthday. The JOY Ministry consists
of seasoned followers of Jesus Christ excited
about serving and living out their faith in the
Lord. The JOY Ministry has a tremendous legacy
with First Baptist Church, and we celebrate
the many people God has placed in our
congregation to help pave the way for future
generations.
This ministry is involved with small groups,
summer Bible studies, grandparenting seminars,
Christmas and other seasonal banquets,
concerts, local outings and an annual extended
trip. Missions is also a priority for our JOY
Ministry and annually we provide a mission
opportunity away from Decatur as well as
monthly partnerships with local non-profit
organizations.
Staying connected is a challenge, but as we
continue to build relationships with one
another, there have been many opportunities
to grow together through zoom meetings and
online Bible studies.

The Operations portion of our Ministry
Plan includes components such as security,
utilities, facility and campus maintenance,
transportation, property and liability
insurance, mechanical systems, equipment
maintenance, and ministry supplies.
This investment in the FBC campus and
infrastructure operations provide the
behind-the-scenes resources to accomplish
the ministries of the church and missions

our facility for small groups, worship, Bible study, fellowship meals, discipleship meetings, Church Street
Academy, School of Fine Arts, recreation activities, and choir practice. In addition, our campus routinely
hosts local school officials, community-focused organizations and FBC ministry partners for meetings,
planning sessions and banquets. This commitment to our community and ministries of FBC (music, fine
arts, education, children, students, pastoral care and recreation), requires an investment in leadership. Our
church is blessed with a Team of talented professionals and dedicated support staff to lead the missions
and ministries of our church into 2021.
