Ministry Opportunities

The opportunity exists for YOU to to join in meaningful ministry with God here at First Baptist Church. See what God is doing here and join Him in it. What is God calling YOU to do? If you want to explore any of these or other possibilities, call Pastor Rick @ 650-323-8544.
Opportunities that currently exist:


Greeting Ministry -The first person someone meets when they visit sets the tone for their experience. The Greeter has a very important role in helping people feel the love and care of Christ in a practical way.

Building and Grounds Ministry - Deep first impressions are made as people see the church facilities and grounds. Improving and maintaining the resources with which God is blessing, is a very important role.  Building and Grounds Ministers perform odd jobs and do handyperson work around the church facility either on a schedule or as available.  These servants of God are essential in our being good stewards of what God has given us.

Fellowship Ministry- Fellowship is very important in fostering meaningful relationships. People don't want friendly churches, they want friends. Times of fellowship promote the opportunity for people to connect with each other and for friendships to begin to grow. The Fellowship Minister is a treasured servant in God's plan.

Praise and Worship Ministry- Singers, Instrumentalists, and Audio Visual Technicians are essential in leading a service of praise to the Lord. Ministers gifted in these areas lead the "Body of Christ" into heartfelt worship. Soloists and groups are welcomed regularly for special music in the Sunday worship service. 

Teaching Ministry - God uses teachers of  children and adults, to bring nourishment, direction and maturity to the "Body of Christ." Teachers are key to discipleship. Jesus, in the Great Commission, said; "Go, and make disciples ... teaching them to obey all my commands..."

Children's Ministry - Opportunities for children's ministry abound.  Our community is filled with children that need to be reached and ministered to with the love of Christ.

Outreach Ministry - Outreach ministers help to plan, organize and execute effective outreach to people in our area. Promotion of special events is a key need.

Stephen Ministry -Stephen Ministers are trained to help people find God's presence in difficult life situations.  They are care-givers helping others find the CURE-GIVER.
