About Us

Our Mission

Make disciples. That what Jesus told us to do (Matthew 28:19-20). We exist to make disciples who Love God. Love One Another. Love the World.

What We Believe

Baptists are united by a belief in full-body immersion baptism, baptism of professed believers only (rather than infant baptism), the autonomy of local churches, the Bible as the ultimate religious authority, and the priesthood of all believers.  Our basic biblical beliefs are explained in The Baptist Faith and Message, adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention on June 14, 2000.  View the current edition of The Baptist Faith & Message.

My family and I really appreciate the sound Biblical preaching, teaching and instruction provided by Pastor Bob Weathers. He clearly has a God-given gift for presenting deep theological doctrine in a manner that’s digestible, practical, and relevant to the many cultural pressures felt by Christian families. Because of Pastor Bob’s unwavering devotion to Christ and stewardship to the church body, FBCS is firmly rooted in Biblical truth.

Sixteen years ago I was blessed to find First Baptist Church of Shallotte.
Having been away from church for many years, I was in need; not exactly sure what I
was seeking. Relatively new to the area, I knew no one. At FBCS I found a pastor who
teaches the true word of God and will not stray from it. Through many opportunities to
learn more about God and His word, my life has been transformed into a beautiful
relationship with God that I never expected. I also had no idea I would find such a
welcoming, caring church family. We love serving God together. If you’re seeking
for whatever reason, come visit; I’d love to welcome you.

First Baptist Church of Shallotte is a community of believers where faith, fellowship, and fun come together. The church is deeply committed to the discipleship of families, guiding them as they grow in their understanding of God’s love and purpose. It’s a place where I was raised, making it a significant part of my family history. From Sunday services to community events, the church has always been a place where members come together to support one another and create lasting memories. For me, First Baptist Church of Shallotte is not just a place of worship—it’s a home that has shaped my faith and life.
