First Baptist Church of Merrifield has a number of ministries for all and to reach all.
The ministries are designed to further our relationship with God and to allow us and others to grow in His presence and through His teachings and experiences.
Church is all around us, not just a physical dwelling that we attend on Sundays for services and during the week for Bible studies. Church is in us all week long and being active in a ministry is an opportunity where we can use our spiritual gift to help others and to serve and glorify God.
