What a joy it is to introduce you to our church! Youll discover that our passion is to provide a place where people just like you can have a life-changing experience with God.
At First African Baptist (FAB) Church, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. Our goal is to infuse life and Gods love into people and families through engaging, powerful worship services that offer biblical truth in relevant and practical ways.
But it wont take you long to discover that were more than just a Sunday church. In fact, were actually a network of small groups. And if youd like to develop authentic and enduring relationships with others, youll be glad to know there are opportunities to join a ministry all the time.
Together were striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible where theres relevant teaching, heartfelt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. Wed like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time. We are continuously striving to be more than just members, but disciples of the Word of God.
So whether youre a spiritual seeker whos just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at FAB.
