Merry Christmas!
Here at First Baptist, Christmas is one our favorite times of the whole year! While we love the trees, the lights, and all the festivities surrounding this important holiday, we know the real reason we celebrate is that a baby king was born to save the world! We'd love to celebrate with you!
The entire month of December, our Sunday morning messages will be all about Christmas, and the way God moved in "Unexpected" ways and through unexpected people to orchestrate the birth of Jesus, and how his narrative continues through our lives.
Our Sunday morning services are 8:30AM & 11AM. We offer nursery and preschool care for the little ones, and a special kid's program for kids 6th grade and under after the worship portion of each service.
We can't wait to gather together with you!

Advent Conspiracy 2019
Each year, we endeavor to worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all! We've raised over 400K over the last 10 years of committing our Christmas to being more generous! One way we do that is by partnering with non-profit organizations both locally and all around the world and raising money to support their causes
What is Advent Conspiracy?
Advent conspiracy is an opportunity for the local church to redeem the consumer-driven mentality that is the Christmas season. We’re asking members of the local church to match the amount they would normally spend on one gift for one family member, and invest it as a gift for their own city.
These funds will support the following three initiatives:
1. The launch of “One-Eighty Community,” a program of Community Development based around housing and intentional neighboring on Lodi’s East Side.
2. Sending four new individuals into the target neighborhood as “intentional neighbors” who will live and serve there.
3. Creating tangible opportunities for the people of the local Church to participate in local mission, both on the East side and in their own Neighborhoods.
