Our Mission

Our Mission The First Baptist Church of Hamilton, Texas is a diverse family of believers unified in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to glorify God through worship, missions, the study and sharing of holy Scriptures and loving service to all people.

First Baptist Church Sunday, August 2 2009

How to Join the First Baptist Family By Baptism—If one professes faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, the church may receive that person as a candidate for church membership through believer’s baptism. If you are a member of another denomination and have never been baptized, or have been baptized in a mode other than immersion, the church may receive you for membership through baptism. By Transfer of Membership—The church may receive a person as a member upon transfer of membership from a Baptist church of like belief. We will be happy to arrange for this transfer. By Statement—If you are a member of another denomination, membership does not transfer from one denomination to another. You may join by your statement, which is your testimony of your acceptance of Christ as Savior and your Scriptural baptism by immersion.

Summer Music Camp was a huge success, and this morning we welcome many families in worship who were with us last week. Our Sanctuary is appointed with decorations from the musical, and we are reminded this morning of the eternal impact that has been made on each child and adult with past week. To God be the glory!
