Loving God, Loving Others, Magnifying Jesus Christ
The mission of The Greater First Baptist Church is to love God, to love others, and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ.
The vision of our church is to glorify our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to make true disciples throughout all the nations by means of missionary activity and support, to minister the ordinances, to edify believers, and to do all that is sovereignly possible and biblically permissible to magnify the name of Jesus.
The Greater First Baptist Church is blessed to be led by Rev. Dr. Jonathan Z. Queen, who serves as our Senior Pastor. Called to shepherd our congregation, Pastor Queen provides spiritual leadership, biblical teaching, and pastoral care to our church family.
As Pastor, Dr. Queen oversees the spiritual development of our members, leads worship services, provides counseling and guidance, and casts the vision for our church's mission to love God, love others, and magnify Jesus Christ. Under his leadership, our church continues to grow in faith, fellowship, and service to our community.
