Connect
Step into community—because you weren't meant to walk alone.
God designed us to grow in community. Build meaningful relationships, encourage one another, and experience the joy of doing life together. As you connect with others, you'll find support, belonging, and opportunities to grow in your faith
Sunday School: Your Starting Point for Connection
Sunday School is the heart of community at First Baptist Lafayette. With classes for every age and stage of life, you'll find a place to belong, build friendships, and grow in your faith. New people are always welcome.
Explore First
Explore First is our introductory class for anyone who wants to learn more about First Baptist Lafayette. Discover who we are, what we believe, and how to get connected. Whether you're considering membership or simply exploring, Explore First is the perfect next step
Grow
Grow in your faith—because following Jesus is a lifelong journey.
Grow alongside others through Bible study, prayer, and authentic community. Whether you're taking your first step or have followed Jesus for years, Grow Groups help you become more like Christ and find real meaning through an active relationship with Him.
Baptism
Believer's baptism is an important next step after trusting in Jesus. Baptism is a public declaration of your faith, symbolizing Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and your new life in Him. While baptism doesn't save you, it is an act of obedience and an important step for those seeking membership at First Baptist Lafayette
Grow Groups
Spiritual growth happens best in community. Grow Groups are designed to help you study God's Word, build meaningful relationships, and encourage one another as you follow Jesus.
Whether you're looking for a men's group, women's study, or a group for every stage of life, there's a place for you.
Serve
Step into purpose—because you were made to make a difference.
God has uniquely gifted you to serve. Whether it's caring for others, investing in the next generation, serving within the church, or sharing the Gospel around the world, there's a place for you to make an eternal impact. As we serve together, we reflect the love of Jesus and help others find real meaning in Him
