our ministries

As a part of our Compassion Ministry, we live out our faith by caring for those in need. Through our Snack Bags, Food Pantry, and Clothing Closet, we share Christ’s love with our community. Your donations of food, clothing, or time make a real difference to neighbors in need. 

Join us in this mission—together, we can bring hope and kindness to those who need it most.

First Baptist Church of Petersburg lovingly sponsors Jenny Jenkins, a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship missionary serving in Grand Goâve, Haiti.

Since feeling called to minister there full-time in 2008, Jenny has worked tirelessly in both medical and relational ministries. Following the 2010 earthquake, she became deeply involved in relief efforts and continues her dedicated service to the people of Haiti.

The Breakfast Club is a community outreach ministry that meets on Sunday mornings to serve a light breakfast and share a Bible lesson. In addition to the meal, we also provide a small amount of groceries for the week through our food pantry, helping to meet both immediate and ongoing needs. Whether you're seeking nourishment, fellowship, or support, we welcome you to join us as we come together to uplift our community through faith, compassion, and service.
