Ministries

A Family Ministry

First Baptist Church of Ruskin strives to meet the needs of the entire family from the infant to the mature adult. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman, we would like you to be a part of our vibrant church family. Here are some opportunities that may interest you and meet your needs.

Mission Outreach

First Baptist is thrilled to be part of the spread of God’s love and gospel around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting missionaries and mission projects with our money and with our prayers. First Baptist supports over 75 missionaries and missions projects. We encourage people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.

Music & Drama

God-honoring music is something we strive for. Many who attend here at FBC, get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the choir. Still others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of First Baptist, using their talents and gifts to glorify God. If you are interested in getting involved, contact us below. We would love to have you as a part of our ministry
