Everyone is a minister at First Baptist Church of Littleton. We experience ministry together and learn from one another. We are confident that God has given everyone a special gift or talent and when we work together and use those gifts - the body of Christ functions pretty well!Some are teachers, some are musicians, some are caretakers of the building, and some serve by reaching out to our neighbors both near and far.

Pastor Debbie's Flock
Worship at First Baptist Church is filled with all types of music! You may hear choral music in the same service that you hear our praise band For Higher, or you may hear bell music and blues, piano and brass, or even reggae and organ.
