First Church Five-Fold Fellowship Ministries’ Three Core Values

Our church family understands what it means to walk with our members throughout their journey with their faith. With a loving heart and an extended hand, we want you to live a life full of purpose.

Unifying the Saints

Soul-Winning

Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare

Faithful | Available | Teachable

Seek men, women, and youth that are "FAT" in the Lord, to assist the church in soul winning.

Therefore, we are “Compelled to Helping Others”; this is the foundation and the reason why this ministry was formed. Everyone is welcome to be a part of this holy union in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy Trinity; God is our Father; Jesus is the Son of God; and the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God.
