Our Mission
Our Mission is the Great Commission!
At First Baptist Church our Mission is The Great Commission! We want to reach everyone not only in Forrest City, Arkansas but in our surrounding area with the Gospel Message of Jesus! Our efforts are spread throughout the entire world through Mission Offerings and prayer support for our Southern Baptist Missionaries who are already on the mission field serving the Lord!
We are telling our story of how Jesus has changed us and incorporating the Gospel Message of Jesus with our own personal story to reach those who are lost.

About First Baptist Church of Forrest City
First Baptist Church is a Bible believing, Bible preaching, Southern Baptist Church located in Forrest City, Arkansas which is the county seat of St. Francis County. Our church participates in community activities such as See You At the Pole as our community gathers to pray for our schools, students, teachers and parents of the students. Our youth ministry has fellowships after the football games which are home games. As a church around the Christmas Season we take time to go Christmas Caroling, as well as having a float in our annual community Christmas parade.
We participate in Missions projects such as The Gideon's Ministry, Disaster Relief, Operation Christmas Child, Arkansas Baptist Children's Home, Clothes Closet Ministry, Basket Ministry, Bonus Points Ministry, Caring Touch Quilting Ministry, Cookie Ministry and Women On Mission Ministry. Within our church we have ministries starting from bed baby ages to senior adult ages.
We believe very strongly in the power of prayer and have a prayer ministry that our members and visitors can fill out a prayer request form and they have the option to mark the request private or public. The prayer requests which are marked private are only seen by two men who are the Deacons of the week and the Pastor. The Deacons of the week are praying during our worship service for the requests which are submitted as well as praying for the service. The Pastor gets all the prayer request forms marked private after our worship service and they remain with the Pastor.
First Baptist Church is ready to minister to everyone and welcome the privilege of sharing the love of Jesus with you! We take this time to personally invite you to our church so that you can personally experience what our church is about!

BELIEFS
First Baptist Church is a family of believers who holds dear to the following beliefs:
GOD – there is only one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
JESUS – He is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
CHRIST'S RETURN – Jesus Christ will literally return to earth.
HOLY SPIRIT – God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer.
BIBLE – the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life and faith.
MAN – a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, man fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation.
SALVATION – a gift received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
ASSURANCE – every person who is truly save is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
