Welcome to First Baptist Church

“At First Baptist Church, we are excited to know that you are interested in visiting with us. Grounded in the Word of God, everyone from our greeters to Connect Group leaders, and pastors are here to make you feel at home and show you and your family how great it is to be surrounded by other believers. We have something for everyone so try out several services and classes as we are sure you will find one that is perfect for you.”   

~ Pastor Craig Conner


We humbly, yet firmly believe that First Baptist Church Panama City is “A House of Hope connecting people and transforming lives for the glory of God”. We live in the midst of a culture where people struggle to find hope. We believe that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ provides an answer to the question, “Is there any hope?” If you are looking for a church to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, whatever your age, we have a place for you. It would be an honor for us to encourage you in your spiritual life and to call you a part of the First Baptist Church Family.

What We Believe

First Baptist Church consists of multiple buildings and parking areas.  Once you arrive on campus, you will notice our “Parking Meeters” in yellow vests at various locations. The “Parking Meeters” will gladly direct you to designated guest parking areas as well to our Welcome desk staffed with volunteers to answer your questions, help you find a class or escort you to your destination. Whether you are attending a worship service, special event or trying out a Sunday School class, plan to arrive about 15 minutes before scheduled start time. We don’t want you to miss a moment of ministry!
