First Baptist Church of Tyrone stands as a lasting testimony to God’s faithfulness, bearing witness to the gospel in Tyrone and the surrounding community for over a century. Rooted in the truth of the gospel and compelled by Christ’s command to make disciples, we exist to glorify God in all we do.
We exist to be a gospel-driven church, committed to making and growing disciples through the faithful teaching and preaching of God’s Word. As we like to state it: We aim to make disciples who are rich in the word, loving each other well, and useful in the hands of the King as he builds his church for his glory.
Discipleship is built on Christ-centered relationships shaped by the Word of God. Every time we gather, our aim is not simply to gain knowledge, but to experience genuine heart transformation that leads to lasting change. And we don't walk this journey alone—we grow together. We believe that spiritual maturity happens in community, as we help one another grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. On Sundays, we sit under the verse-by-verse teaching of Scripture. On Wednesdays, we gather to go deeper in understanding. And in Home Groups, we live out the "one another" commands of Scripture in real, everyday life.
