The Toy Joy team is hard at work preparing for the event on November 16, and as always, we rely on our church family and friends to make this special day happen for our guests. We are planning to serve around 300 families—up to 1000 children—again this year. Links to our Amazon, Target, and Walmart wish lists can be found below. We're happy to shop for you if you'd like to make a monetary donation instead you may use any of the church giving platforms (CLICK HERE) or if you write a check, make it payable to First Baptist and put "Toy Joy" in the memo line).
Join us for worship on Sundays at 11am in person, or by livestream on YouTube.

First Baptist Church strives to be a community of faith where everyone can experience a sense of belonging and connection. We welcome and affirm all people for who they are and who they may become. We provide space for individuals to be true to self and to challenge themselves and others to create community that embraces diversity. Because we believe in the sacred worth of all people as beloved children of God, we invite every person to participate in all aspects of the life, leadership, and ministry of our congregation.
Visiting a new church can be intimidating. You can review our “Welcome to FBC” page to find what to expect when visiting us, but know you will always be warmly greeted by a caring congregation when coming through our doors.
All who are seeking God’s love and grace are welcome — there is always a place for you at FBC.
