OUR
MINISTRIES
“Now all of you together are Christ’s body, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it.” 1 Cor. 12:27 NLT
At First Baptist Church of Franklin we believe every member is a minister. All of us have gifts, abilities, and talents we can share so that God’s work is done. Serving through a ministry is also an essential part of being a growing Christian.

Youth Ministry (Teens)
Teenagers today have more challenges than ever before. Social media, online learning, cyber bullying, the list goes on and on. These are all obstacles that many adults have never had to deal with. Thats why our youth need an ally more than ever before. First Baptist Church of Franklin's Youth program exists to introduce teens to Jesus, nurture them in their faith, and equip them for a lifetime of glorifying God.
Honduras Mission Trip
First Baptist Church has sent a mission team to Honduras the last several years. The mission team assists local church in teaching vacation bible school for a week. Many of the children that the team encounters have never know what it's like to have a toy, to eat out, to get new school clothes, to go to school or to have indoor plumbing!
Servant Ministry
1st Peter 4:10
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
​
Maybe your gift is gardening or cooking. Maybe you are handy at carpentry or being a tech whiz. Whatever your gift is, use it for the Lord! Speak to Pastor Clyde to learn about the needs of the church and where you might best serve the Master.
