We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to share Jesus Christ with and minister to as many people as possible in our church, our community, and our world.

Here at First Baptist Church Collins, we believe that God created everything (Genesis 1:1-2:7); that Jesus Christ is His Son who was born of a virgin and died for us to save us from our sins, was resurrected on the third day from the dead, and is the only way to get to Heaven (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-23, Matthew 17:5, John 20:1-20, John 19); that when we become a Christian we receive the Holy Spirit that is God living within us (John 16:7-14, Acts 1:8); and that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is absolute truth (Psalm 119:89, John 17:17, 2 Timothy 3:15-17).

First Baptist Church is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 2,482 congregations of the Baptist family gather across Mississippi — 71,352 across the United States on The Church Map.

Baptists pressed harder than anyone for religious liberty in America, and the freedom every other congregation on this map enjoys is partly what they won. They have carried believers' baptism and the priesthood of every believer to more of the world than almost anyone — and the Black Baptist church has repeatedly been the conscience of the whole nation.
