About First Baptist Church of Monticello

OUR MISSION
"LOVE EQUIP GO SEND"
OUR VISION
We dream of being a church where God’s presence is experienced and grace abounds.
We dream of a church where physical constraints do not limit the number of people gathered each week to learn how to LOVE God, SHARE Christ, PREPARE disciples and SERVE others.
We dream of facilities that are inviting to families and are equipped for ministry in today’s culture.
We dream about building a great city, renewed and redeemed by a gospel movement, by being a church for the city of Monticello that labors to advance the gospel throughout the nations; praying fervently for God’s grace and power in our own lives, homes, workplaces, university, and city.
We dream of a people so Kingdom-minded that they will count whatever the cost and pay whatever the price to see revival sweep this land.
We dream of being a church that understands that unchurched people matter to God and thus must matter to us as well (Luke 15). Therefore, we desire that every person in Drew County have the opportunity to hear the gospel.
We dream of a community built on acceptance and love where friends bring friends to hear the Good News presented clearly and creatively.
We dream of discipling and equipping every believer for a significant ministry by helping them discover the gifts and talents God gave them.
We dream of a spirit of cooperation extending to all Christian churches in our community, ministering the love of Christ and accomplishing God’s will.
