God is at work in and through First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach (FBFirst). In an era where many churches are struggling, FBFirst is experiencing remarkable growth inside and out. Whoever steps in as the next Children’s Pastor/Director has the opportunity to serve scores of kids, leaders, and families in significant ways.
Walk into FB First, and you’re welcomed like family. This warm, vibrant Southern Baptist Church has led people toward Christ for over 150 years on and around Amelia Island in northeast Florida. FBFirst has grown nearly 50% since 2021, unlike most congregations after the pandemic. Every week, a steady stream of young families, retirees, and everyone in between come to the church from the greater Nassau County area and as far as Jacksonville. FBFirst serves just under 1,000 people, including 200 children up to 5th grade.
FBKids needs a leader of leaders with an entrepreneurial spirit and track record to take the ministry to the next level. This includes assessing and addressing current realities while dreaming about the future, so making and equipping disciples happens with kids, leaders, and families. FBFirst is looking for a leader of leaders who takes the initiative, collaborates with other ministry leaders, casts a clear, compelling vision, and rallies the people and resources necessary to follow through from start to finish.
