We believe every person has God given gifts and talents that are to be
used in meeting the needs of others in the church and community. As every person
uses their gifts and talents, the person grows and so does the church. Information about each church ministry is listed below to help you and your
family get connected at First Baptist Church Bradenton.
Children & Preschool. Our Children's Ministry exists to bring children into a relationship with Jesus Christ, to develop them as worshippers and students of God’s Word.
We endeavor to partner with their families in both evangelistic and discipleship
pursuits.

Library. As believers, we continually seek to develop our gifts and organize our skills
to worship God and to serve the body of Christ. We look to fill our mind with
things that edify and things that encourage, rather than things that do not promote
godly living.

Weddings. Ever since the renovation of our historical Memorial Chapel, it has been a popular setting for weddings. This room looks very much as it would have looked in its early days, but it is complete with sound, lighting and projection equipment.
