First Baptist Church

573-264-2214

With our Lord’s Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 in mind, First Baptist Church of Scott City’s purpose is “Reaching and Teaching for Changed Lives”.

Reaching FBSC is committed to going into our City, our State, and to the uttermost parts of the world to proclaim the good news of God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. We go because “the times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31 ESV)

Teaching FBSC is not just committed to going, but also to teaching. We desire to be faithful to our Lord’s Commission and make disciples of all nations. As the Bible says, “Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28 ESV)

For Changed Lives The passion of FBSC is that the love of Christ would work in people’s lives and transform them to love God and love others. We know the power of Christ and desire that all would love and serve Him. Scripture tells us “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 ESV)
