Our Ministries
First Baptist Lumberton offers a variety of ministries designed to serve both our church family and the wider community. From children and youth programs, Wednesday night Bible studies, and small groups to outreach efforts like our monthly Community Café, Friends of Jesus Ministry, and benevolence support, there are countless ways to get involved. We also provide transportation from local senior living communities, support law enforcement officers, and offer ongoing opportunities to meet practical needs in Lumberton. No matter your gifts or season of life, there’s a place for you to serve, grow, and connect.
Pastoral Care
When you are hurting, First Baptist wants to walk beside you.
The staff of First Baptist have made pastoral care one of their top priorities. They make daily visits to sick and injured members in the hospital and at home, and are available to meet in the church offices with those desiring their care. First Baptist makes a particular point of being present for families in their times of loss, and funeral services are also available through the church.
For more information about Pastoral Care or Funeral Services, please call our office: 910-739-4336.
Friends of Jesus
For adults with developmental disabilities.
The class meets each week during Sunday School in our Activity Building for singing, fellowship, and a Bible lesson. Members of this class come from group homes and private homes from the Lumberton area.
In addition to weekly meetings, the class participates in a variety of mission projects, holiday parties, an annual Happiness Retreat and many other fun activities throughout the year.

College & Young Adult
No matter whether you are coming home after a long absence or brand new to Lumberton, we want all college and young adults to know they have a home at First Baptist.
College & Young Adult Trips
We also offer several opportunities for collegians and young adults to unite such as retreats, hiking, rafting or skiing.
Local Missions
Our college students also enjoy taking part in local missions, with many travelling home just to take part. We also have a program matching our college students with individuals and classes of older adults to help remind them they are supported and loved here at First Baptist.
