Our Mission & Ministries

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.” — Hebrews 10:25

Our Mission

First Baptist Church of Riverhead is a faith community committed to individual and community wholeness.

We seek to address the needs of our members and our broader community while responding to the issues affecting our local, national, and global neighbors. Through worship, service, education, fellowship, and outreach, we strive to lift up hope, faith, and Christian principles in everything we do.

Our ministries give us the opportunity to live out that mission—together.

Growing in Faith

Faith is the foundation of everything we do.

Through Christian Education, Sunday School, Bible studies, New Member Discipleship, Intercessory Prayer, and our Women’s and Men’s Ministries, we create opportunities to deepen our relationship with God, study His Word, strengthen one another, and discover how faith shapes the way we live and serve.

Our goal is not simply to learn about faith, but to live it.
