The History Of First Baptist
First Baptist Church began in 1909 with 36 members meeting in a home. Jay Pruden, a traveling missionary from Oakland, saw a need in Turlock. At that time they said there was a need to…
-
To connect with God in fellowship.
-
To exercise our spiritual gifts and increase our spiritual gifts.
-
To spread the gospel and advance the kingdom of God.
Today we are committed to the same task. God has used this church for over one hundred years to...
1) Share the hope of Jesus to countless people.
2) Train up and support missionaries around the world.
3) Be used as a temporary hospital during the global flu epidemic of 1918.
4) Be the starting home for the Turlock Gospel Mission.
By the grace of God we continue to endure, and we will be here for another hundred years.
