Pastoral Care
First Baptist Church is dedicated to ministering to your needs at every stage of life. It is a caring program that reaches out to share God’s love and our love with you when you need it most—during the times of hospitalization, disablement, bereavement and other times of need. It’s a personal ministry to the family of First Baptist Church from the family of First Baptist Church. That’s what families are for!
Hospital Ministry
The Pastoral Care Staff makes personal visits and has prayer with our members before they go into surgery. They advise the church office and pastors of any surgeries or medical problems. The desire of FBCUC is to minister to you.
Baptism
Baptism is the rite of being immersed in water as a sign of purification and consecration before our Lord. It is also the first step of Christian obedience and the first step of identification with Christ. Baptisms are held on the third Sunday of each month during worship services. Each member shares their salvation testimony before they are baptized.
Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is held quarterly during worship services. Come and remember what the Lord has done for you.
Counseling Center
Our therapists at the Universal City Christian Counseling Center work from a basic understanding that God is a God of love and grace. Their personal involvement helps them understand the distress and pain their clients are experiencing. They are committed to being a source of encouragement and practical help, while also providing a safe place to enlarge one’s thinking through reflection, insight and self-evaluation. This process often leads to behavioral changes that constructively deal with one’s current life situation and also creates a new and healthier direction for life. Goto Counseling Center Page
Weddings
We have a Wedding Assistant who helps guide couples through the process of planning their wedding. Call the church office with any questions you may have about wedding policies.
Benevolence
Extraordinary circumstances occasionally create special financial needs. The Benevolence Ministry Team seeks to provide emergency assistance and biblically-based guidance for members, to help them in a time of special need.
