WHO WE ARE


First Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church that was founded in 1951 (originally as a member of the American Baptist Church Convention) and has served both the military and civilian community of Coronado since that date. We are now affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. Our building was constructed in 1953.

Our Core Values

Biblical Authority

We believe the scriptures to be the complete, word-for-word inspired Word of God and our final authority for all Christian faith and practice.

Worship

We are committed to expressing our love to God in all that we say, think, and do because He is worthy of all honor and  praise.


Prayer

We pray, depending on God, with confidence and expectancy.


Discipleship

Evangelism

We strive to reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ so they will see, hear, and understand what it means to be a child of the Living God.


Edification

We lead believers into a deeper personal walk with God through worship, prayer, Biblical instruction, fellowship, and ministry participation.


Equipping

We seek to multiply ourselves by mobilizing competent, surrendered, and Christ-centered champions to minister the Word of God to the world.


Authentic and Loving Relationships

Compassion and Caring

We love unconditionally, listen with empathy, and assist families as well as those individuals who are poor, sick, unlearned, addicted, lonely, or hurting.


Accountable.

The Church Community should be accountable, have a sense of belonging, and genuinely care for one another.


Cultural Relevance

We want to be relevant to our society without compromising Biblical absolutes. We also celebrate the diversity that is Southern California. We want to be a church for all people.


Missions

We believe that every believer is called to be a missionary to those who are lost – whether across the street or around the world.
