The Mission
At First Baptist Church Mesquite, we seek to share the hope of Jesus, strengthen believers, serve our neighbors, and help people throughout Mesquite grow as disciples of Christ.
The Vision
The vision of First Baptist Church of Mesquite is to create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
How We Fulfill Our Mission And Vision
First Baptist Church is a community of believers committed to following Jesus and helping others grow as His disciples. We believe following Christ is more than attending church. It is a way of life that shapes how we pray, learn, serve, share, and build relationships with one another.
