A Message from Our Pastor
Dear Friends of First Baptist Church
I think you would agree that each of us feels privileged to be given the opportunity to be a part of something that has a positive impact on others. It is my belief that God is giving us such an opportunity through our ministry theme: "Growing with God in the Heart of Community."
Since 1796, God, through First Baptist Church, has been calling and raising up committed disciples to go out and serve in the name of Jesus Christ. Several have gone out with the Gospel to other lands, particularly to India. Others, including Harry Emmerson Fosdick have heard the call to full-time pastoral ministry from the sanctuary of our historic Church.
Today, at First Baptist, individuals are growing with God via our dynamic community of faith though Sunday worship, excellence in music, Children and Adult Sunday School, Adult mid-week Faith Builders, Youth Group, Christian Women's Fellowship, Prayer-Chain Ministry, and Vacation Bible School . . . to name some of our growth opportunities.
The members of First Baptist are always seeking to expand our outreach. A leading congregation in mission-giving in Central New York, First Baptist seeks to be a Church for others. Currently 13 community groups utilize our building. All of our programs are open to the community. Our members volunteer in the following ways: Food Distribution at Madison Baptist Church, Friendship Inn, and Hamilton Food Cupboard, Worn Again Clothing Assistance, Deacon's Fund Emergency Response, and the "One Great Hour of Sharing" Disaster Relief Fund.
First Baptist Church continues to this day to be a beacon of hope to all of God's children in this community and beyond.
Welcome to First Baptist Church, Hamilton.
See you Sunday!
-- Pastor Wesley Smith
