Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.”

            This scripture has been interwoven with the vision God has given First Baptist Church.  Our mission reflects God’s glory as seen in our Jerusalem (ministry in El Dorado), in our Judea (ministry throughout Kansas), in our Samaria (ministry nationally) and to the uttermost part of the earth (ministry internationally).

            First Baptist Church’s mission field begins in its own buildings; winds throughout the neighborhoods of El Dorado, through prison ministry and campus ministries across the U.S.; and expands throughout the world in every direction.  From an orphanage in Haiti, to seminary training in Mexico, to Bible translation in Peru; across the ocean to village church planting and student support in Liberia, from summer camps and forgotten children in Russia to English camps in China, to medical work in Burma; from Bible distribution in the free world to international ministry to the persecuted church; we co-labor with churches, ministries, and mission organizations to advance God’s kingdom on earth.
