Discipleship

“God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other.” 1 Peter 4:10

One of our most important principles is that of Discipleship which is our commitment to help all develop their God given talents and use them to help others. To this end we have many training classes including a series designed to discover and then bring out those sometimes hidden talents.

Our series of classes 101 through 401 take us on a journey of self-discovery with 4 classes that explore the church, our faith and beyond. If you would like to inquire when the next series takes place please call the church office. These classes, plus the Ministries listed below help us with that journey.

“Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself. Then God gave us the work of bringing others into PEACE with him.” (ICB) 2 Corinthians 5:18

Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

John 20:21

Our Foundation

In November 2000, Pastor Bill Stevenson and his wife Vicki answered a Pastoral call from Virgin Valley Baptist Church. At that time the church reorganized as First Baptist Church of Mesquite (FBC).

On Easter Sunday, 2001 FBC moved from the mortuary to 114 Sandhill Boulevard and held the grand opening. Under God’s direction and Pastor Bill’s leadership, the church became a very active, growing church which resulted in three worship services on Sunday and many lay ministries.

In a few years, FBC outgrew the Sandhill location. The congregation again began to pray for God’s direction and in June of 2005 moved into our present location at 700 Hardy Way. In the next few years many changes have occurred, including the addition of an Executive Pastor, Bill Montgomery.
