Bill Benjamin
Associate Pastor
Executive Director -
Nature Coast Ministries |
"Hi! It is my goal in life to do whatever it
takes to help people fall as wildly in love with Jesus as He
is with them. Whether its praise, study, prayer or service;
everything we do should be about helping people to know God
more deeply. I believe that best occurs in community;
in worship time, service, River Life (home) groups or in a
class. Its all about a relationship, not a religion! We are
followers of the example set by Jesus Christ. How can we
serve you?"

 Matt
Mullins
Minister to Students |
|
It is such a blessing to be
here at First Baptist Church. My purpose is to help students
grow in their walk with Christ. God has a special plan for each
student and it is exciting to be a part of the preparation for
those plans. The student ministry is an outlet for young people
to continually grow in their love for Jesus through: Bible
study, small groups, music, worship services, drama and prayer.
I invite you to join us and experience what God is doing!

Jenifer Snider
Children's Director |
Greetings! Church work has
been my passion from an early age. At 21 I became the
Sunday School Superintendent of a small Baptist church in
West Virginia and have continued since then to give what I
can to God and His people. All of my work experience has
been with teaching and administration in public and
Christian education. It is my goal to work with the parents
of the church and of the community to assist them in seeing
their children have a deep love of Jesus Christ. Join us
for a child-centered program that provides worship,
education, and fellowship designed to meet children on their
level and joyfully watch them grow. E-mail:

It is such a joy to be a part
of the staff here at First Baptist Church. Mainly, I assist
Lisa in the financial responsibilities of the
church. My husband, Bob and I moved to Florida in 1999 and
joined this church shortly afterwards. We are so thankful
that God has led us here to such a warm and loving church
and further blessed me with the opportunity to serve Him on
the staff of FBC.
