General Information

Christ’s commission for the church is to make disciples taught in the Word and obedient to His commands. The goal at FBCT is to fulfill this commission by beginning with a foundation of faith in Christ and adding to that faith the qualities of virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love (2 Peter 1:5-7).

A wide variety of ministries are offered to help our adult members supplement their knowledge of the Bible and refine their skills in applying what they’ve learned.

It is our desire to help men and women know God, grow in their Christian character, and serve Him with a whole heart. We hope you will take advantage of the many training opportunities offered at First Baptist Church of Troy.
