First Baptist Church of Ventura

426 South Mills Road

We at First Baptist are a family of Christians that believe that a healthy church is one comprised of people from different backgrounds and life experiences. We commit ourselves to support one another through the stages of life so we can become more mature disciples of Jesus Christ. We are a community that ministers to the entire family. From infants to senior citizens, each member is valued and cared for. We are also a family that serves one another through the vast diversity of ministries we offer. Our desire is that as you connect with other people here at First Baptist Church, you will become a part of our church family.

The church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and who are redeemed through His blood. This results in their being born again through the working of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the head of his body, the Church. This Church has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.

The local church is a body of believers in Christ who have been joined together by the Holy Spirit for the worship of God, for growth primarily through the use of the Bible, for prayer, for fellowship, for undertaking the Great Commission, and for observing the two practices of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
