Bill Benjamin
Associate Pastor
"Hi! It is my goal in life to do whatever it takes to help people fall as wildly in love with Jesus as He is with them. Whether its praise, study, prayer or service; everything we do should be about helping people to know God more deeply. I believe that best occurs in community; in worship time, service, River Life (home) groups or in a class. Its all about a relationship, not a religion! We are followers of the example set by Jesus Christ. How can we serve you?"

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.

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.
