The Role: Preschool Minister
Meet Woodlands First Baptist:
The Woodlands First seeks to be a faith family that lives at the intersection of God’s grace and truth. In so many places, it is all grace and no truth, or it is all truth and no grace. In Jesus Christ, it isn’t a choice of either grace or truth but grace and truth living together. That is what we are striving to achieve in our church. Where Grace & Truth Intersect.
We hold to the absolute truth of Jesus and His word found in the Bible and at the same time, recognize none of us ever completely measure up. We are not a perfect place because we are people like you. We are, however, a growing place where you won’t be judged but will be invited to join us on the journey as we together seek to honor Jesus Christ and know Him better.
Our five core values at The Woodlands First:
Community - Live in community with other believers.
Worship - Worship regularly with other believers.
Grow - Grow together through the study of God’s word, prayer, and faithful giving.
Minister - Minister to others by using our gifts.
Share - Share our faith at home and around the world.
