What To Expect
What We Believe
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.
