What we offer:
Children’s Sunday School
After the “Children’s Message” in the sanctuary, the children (age 4-12) go to Sunday School where they pray for their requests and have a Bible lesson.
Nursery
A safe and loving nursery is provided, allowing parents to comfortably focus on our worship service.
Monthly Coffee Hour Fellowship
Once a month after our worship service, we have extended fellowship over coffee and goodies.
Men’s Group
Monday Nights @ 7pm.
This informal gathering of Christian men enjoys a variety of spiritual gatherings. Prayer and devotions are a regular and vital piece of every gathering. In addition to this, we share in a variety of activities throughout the year to build Christian friendships and to serve the Lord and our church through service.
First Baptist Church has two Women’s Groups:
G.R.A.C.E Women’s Group meets Monday evenings at 7pm for Bible study, fellowship, and encouragement.
American Baptist Women is part of a larger group – ABW of the Finger Lakes and ABW of NYS. ABW seeks to unite the women of our church into a fellowship that will help each woman grow as a person and in personal devotion to Jesus Christ and His Church, through worshiping, working, and witnessing.
ABW meets every third Wednesday of each month at 1:00pm. All women are welcome.
Youth Group
F.I.S.H. (Friends Inspired to Serve Him)

F.I.S.H meets Sunday evenings at the church from 5:00-7:30pm. We also get together for social outings and participate in dynamic Christian events like Kingdom Bound.
