About Our Church

A Community of Faith, Love, and Growth

First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park has been a beacon of hope and community for over 50 years. Our mission is to serve our congregation and our neighbors by fostering spiritual growth, providing heartfelt worship, and supporting one another through life's journey.

Our Journey of Faith and Community

Founded over five decades ago, First Southern Baptist Church has grown from a small prayer group to a vibrant congregation that serves the Buena Park community. Our story is rooted in a deep commitment to faith, fellowship, and service. Over the years, we've expanded our programs and outreach to better serve the spiritual needs of our diverse congregation.

Our journey has been guided by the principles of love, inclusivity, and unwavering faith. We believe in building a church community where everyone feels valued and supported. Our members come from all walks of life, united by a shared desire to grow spiritually and make a positive impact in our neighborhood.

Our Approach and Worship Style

At First Southern Baptist Church, we emphasize a warm, welcoming atmosphere where worship is heartfelt and inclusive. Our services blend traditional hymns with contemporary praise, creating a meaningful experience for all ages.

We believe that spiritual growth happens both inside and outside the sanctuary. That's why we offer Bible study groups, prayer meetings, and community service opportunities. Our approach encourages active participation and personal connection to faith.

Our church is a place where questions are welcomed, and faith is nurtured through love and understanding. We strive to create a safe space where everyone can explore their spiritual journey at their own pace.

Our Values and What Sets Us Apart

Our core values are rooted in love, service, and integrity. We are dedicated to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ through acts of kindness, community outreach, and support for those in need.

What sets us apart is our genuine commitment to inclusivity and family. We welcome people of all backgrounds, ages, and life circumstances. Our programs are designed to nurture families, support youth development, and engage every member of our community.

We take pride in our active involvement in local initiatives, charity work, and interfaith collaborations. Our church is more than a place of worship; it is a family that cares deeply about making a difference.

Meet Our Leadership and Community Partners

Our church is led by a dedicated team of pastors and staff who are passionate about guiding our congregation in faith and service. Pastor John Smith has been with us for over 10 years, inspiring many with his sermons and community outreach initiatives.

We also collaborate with local organizations, schools, and charities to extend our impact beyond the church walls. These partnerships help us serve the needs of our community more effectively.

Our leadership team is committed to transparency, compassion, and fostering a welcoming environment where everyone’s voice can be heard.
