Prayer of Thanksgiving
Loving God, source of all compassion, we praise you for Jesus and the new commandment he gave to the disciples, that they should love one another, as Jesus loved them. Write this commandment on our hearts. Plant it within our minds and wills, so that we may also be willing to serve others, as Jesus was the servant of all. In his name and spirit, we pray. Amen

Get Involved
First Baptist Church serves friends, members, and the wider East Bay community with many outreach and fellowship programs.
All are invited to attend men and women's small group, Bible studies, Mission Trips and youth groups. Each year our congregation works to help fund the East Bay Food Pantry. In the past we have organized coat drives, and participated with Samaritan's Purse Shoebox Ministries for children worldwide. With funding from local foundations we provide help to our neighbors in need with fuel, food, utilities etc. and much more!
​
We often join with neighboring churches in fellowship, youth group activities, and the sharing of sanctuary space. Reach out if you'd like to collaborate on a community project!
