About Us

First Baptist Church has been serving in the heart of Marshall for over 180 years.

 

Our Vision

FBC Marshall is dedicated to gathering as a cross section of Marshall, Texas to demonstrate together the liberating grace of God in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.

 

Making Friends

Church members pray for one another, celebrate each other, and support one another. They share life together through events like movie nights, baby showers, and, of course, good old Baptist potlucks.

 

Making Disciples

FBC Marshall believes the command to make disciples is not just the task of our pastors, but is the responsibility of the church as a whole. This work is done in worship and study as well as around our dinner tables.

Markings of a True Disciple

  • John 3:5-6

    Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

  • John 8:31

    Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

  • John 13:34-35

    A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

  • John 15:8

    This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
