Who We Are
First Baptist Church, Butner, is a combination of paid staff and many servants in The Body of Christ: Paid staff consists of a Pastor, who is called by God to shepherd The Church, Associate Pastor of Music & Youth, Director of Children’s Ministry, Administrative Assistant, and Financial Assistant. Staff reports to the Pastor. The Pastor reports to the Deacon Body who is elected by The Church for two-year terms. The Deacon Body supports the Pastor in His work and serves the Church and all members in a family ministry program. Other servants who provide leadership to the Body are made up of Trustees, Moderators, Clerks, Treasurer, and various committees of the Church who serve in accordance with the Church By-Laws. We believe God is one in essence, and three in the Persons of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. According to His Holy Word, He alone is Head of The Church.
