Committees

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

ABOUT OUR COMMITTEES

As a Southern Baptist Church, we are self-governed, using a system of Committees and Ministry Teams. Each Committee or Ministry Team has a specially considered purpose in the fulfillment of our Mission and Vision. They are filled by volunteers who have hearts to serve in the Church, using their God-given talents, skills, and resources in an effort to reach our community and the world for Jesus Christ.

Those who serve on Committees are individuals who have formally joined First Baptist Church of El Paso. Members serve terms specified in our Church bylaws and renew in September at the start of each fiscal year.

Our Ministry Teams are each lead by two FBC members who form teams of people, not necessarily formal members of the Church, who have the special abilities needed to perform the operations of those teams.
