Who We Are
 
The First Baptist Church in Westbrook is a part of the Cumberland Baptist Association of the American Baptist Churches of Maine and the American Baptist Churches of the USA.
 
Our Mission Statement
 
God is calling First Baptist to know, to grow, and to go and show the love of Christ in our community.
 
Our statement describes a process that we believe will enable us to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
To Know Christ
 
We want people not just to know about Christ, but to know him personally and to commit their lives to him and his church here at First Baptist.
 
To Grow in Christ
 
While God uses many means to grow a believer, we believe that a principal one is small groups where believers can acquire the necessary skills to become mature followers and servants of Christ.
 
To Go and Show the Love of Christ
 
After Believers have completed training in our small groups, they will be ready to go into are community to show others Christ's love both by word (evangelism) and deed (ministries like soup kitchen, etc.). 
We believe that God has called us to be light and salt (Matthew 5:13-16) in Westbrook, impacting both individuals and society with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 
Our Vision
 
To inspire and equip each believer so that he/she is effectively reaching others for Jesus Christ in Westbrook.
