FBCLG is a 5,000-member intergenerational community that is growing and moving boldly into its future. We are rooted in tradition, growing in innovation and transforming lives as we meet the needs of God’s people in real-time.

The vision for First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens is based on the following guiding principles:

  • We are all born in the image and likeness of God and God is internal to us. Therefore, we should hunger and strive to move deeper into a life of the divine.
  • Without abandoning our rich past, new approaches are required to attain the higher level God has for us.
  • We want disciples to go beyond the limits of merely practicing religion and move toward a radical relationship with our Redeemer.
  • Operating in sound theology and honoring biblical traditions, our ministries will span the gamut of the needs of God’s people with the intention of helping disciples live in their divinity.
  • From conversations among single Christians to marriage ministry retreats to youth explosions, God has called FBCLG to innovate. That means we are an intergenerational community that is growing and moving boldly into its future and transforming lives as we meet the needs of God’s people in real-time.
