A Brief History of First Baptist Church
Our Church began in 1958 with 35 families and the Reverend Ellis Tiffany. Five acres was purchased on the corner of Downs and Dolphin. The adjacent unfinished Church of Christ facilities was bought and used during renovation. In 1961 the church elected to affiliate with American Baptist Churches of the Pacific Southwest under the missionary status. By the year 1969 the education facility was constructed and renovation of sanctuary by adding narthex and baptistry was completed. In the year of 1975, the congregation celebrated God's movement in our midst by becoming a self-supporting American Baptist Church. In the early eighties the church with full ABW support went into another renovation project. The construction of the Anna Brosom kitchen and office space in south end of education facility. Also, the expansion of the old sanctuary for much needed seating space. And as the church grew with God so did the need for more space. In July 1990 the new sanctuary was completed. 1994 saw more expansion by adding of the Rorick's children education wing. Today 12/20/2024 FBC is affiliated with Aspire Leaders Network under the leadership of Transition Pastor Keith Fultz.
2024 A Merger is planned between FBC and IG with Pastor Jhonatan Perez as Lead Pastor, Becoming a Bilingual Church.
