Matt Mullins
Minister to Students

It is such a blessing to be here at First Baptist Church. My purpose is to help students grow in their walk with Christ. God has a special plan for each student and it is exciting to be a part of the preparation for those plans. The student ministry is an outlet for young people to continually grow in their love for Jesus through: Bible study, small groups, music, worship services, drama and prayer. I invite you to join us and experience what God is doing!

Jenifer Snider
Children's Director

Greetings!  Church work has been my passion from an early age.  At 21 I became the Sunday School Superintendent of a small Baptist church in West Virginia and have continued since then to give what I can to God and His people.  All of my work experience has been with teaching and administration in public and Christian education.  It is my goal to work with the parents of the church and of the community to assist them in seeing their children have a deep love of Jesus Christ.  Join us for a child-centered program that provides worship, education, and fellowship designed to meet children on their level and joyfully watch them grow.

Sandy Charlton
Secretary

It is such a joy to be a part of the staff here at First Baptist Church.  Mainly, I assist Lisa in the financial responsibilities of the church.  My husband, Bob and I moved to Florida in 1999 and joined this church shortly afterwards.   We are so thankful that God has led us here to such a warm and loving church and further blessed me with the opportunity to serve Him on the staff of FBC.
