First Baptist Church St. Simons Island

Ministry

As a church, First Baptist Church St. Simons Island (FBCSSI) seeks to focus on several core values (which are also listed in our Mission and Vision Statement and our Constitution and By-Laws). These Core Values are:

1. Biblical Foundation. We study and teach God’s written word, acknowledging its authority and celebrating the story of the revelation of God, inspired by Him and written by His people, so that all might come to know the Living Word, Jesus Christ.
2. Prayer. We are committed to pray faithfully, both individually and as a church, seeking God’s will.
3. Worship. We are welcoming and inclusive of all people in worship that exalts God with awe and wonder, celebrates Christ with joyful song and thanksgiving, and submits to the Holy Spirit in reverence and humility.
4. Stewardship. We are dedicated to the stewardship of our lives and resources, recognizing our spiritual gifts, and offering them sacrificially and joyfully to God through service to His church.
5. Missions. We share the love of Christ and offer His redeeming grace by meeting the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of our community and the world.
6. Community. We embrace the diversity of our congregation and are committed to develop unity and common purpose, enabling all to participate, to serve, and to lead.
7. Freedom. We believe in the Priesthood of All Believers, affirming the freedom and responsibility to relate to God in our own personal way, as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

FBCSSI seeks to develop a ministry life based around encouraging these core values in its members and those with whom the church comes in contact. Our hope is that by offering a range of ministries to serve the development of not only our members, but also the greater community we can show the love of God and encourage the spiritual, emotional, and personal development of every life FBCSSI touches.
