Community and Society - Faith and Beliefs

The First Baptist Church of Okemos recognizes the significance of faith and beliefs in shaping our collective experience as a community and society.

Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity

Within our diverse congregation, we celebrate and embrace different perspectives, cultures, and experiences. We believe that true unity can only be achieved by respecting and valuing the unique contributions of each individual. Our faith calls us to love one another unconditionally, and it is this love that motivates us to advocate for social justice, equality, and the inclusion of all people. We actively work towards breaking down barriers and challenging discriminatory practices, ensuring that our church community and the wider society reflect the principles of love and acceptance.

Sharing Hope and Compassion

Hope and compassion are at the heart of our mission as a church. We recognize the struggles and hardships faced by individuals within our community and society at large. Through our outreach programs, we aim to provide practical assistance, emotional support, and a sense of belonging to those in need. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to make a difference, whether it's through distributing essential supplies, organizing community events, or offering a listening ear to those seeking comfort. We firmly believe that by extending kindness and demonstrating Christ's love, we can inspire positive change and bring hope to those who need it most.
