Student Ministry

7th grade to 12th grade

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. “ Amen

Matthew 28:19-20

Being in middle school and high school is tough sometimes! Our youth group at FBC Lyman wants to help students realize they are not alone. Through the Student ministry, we reach out to and encourage teenagers (and pre-teens) through Bible study, fun activities and trips, missions trips and other group events.

These classes meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 for Bible study, and on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm throughout the year.

Keep checking our upcoming student events below.

Brotherhood

2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

The Brotherhood of First Baptist Church (FBC) Lyman is comprised of all men who attend our church. The Brotherhood encourages Christian fellowship among the men in our church, Christian men outside of FBC Lyman, as well as any man who is pursuing a meaningful Christian relationship.

A primary objective of the Brotherhood is to bring together men of all ages in order to mature their relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by encouraging each other to be faithful servant leaders in our families, our church and the local community. In addition, each member of the Brotherhood is encouraged to be a positive mentor for our young men in Christian service. This is extremely important in cultivating the type of men who will put the wellbeing of others before their own.

In an active effort to promote Christian fellowship, the men of the Brotherhood prepare breakfast on the first Sunday of the month (excluding hooter summer months) for all of our families, friends and visitors. The preparation of these breakfast meals is very meaningful and rewarding fellowship opportunity in which our men of all ages are encouraged to participate.

As a future outreach opportunity, the Brotherhood intends to reach out to our local first responders and invite them to breakfast and to attend our church services. These men and women heroes are extremely important to our lives and want to let them know that they are valued and appreciated by FBC Lyman.

Women's Ministry

There are so many opportunities for the women of our church to serve and participate in various ministries. These opportunities come through two great organizations: the WMU, Women's Missionary Union, and the WEM, Women's Enrichment Ministry.

The WMU, which is the backbone of missions in the church, ministers by sponsoring things such as the RAs for boys and the GAs for girls, supporting offering emphases such as Margaret Lackey for State Missions, Lottie Moon for World Missions, Annie Armstrong for National Missions, and Pure Water, Pure Love to provide clean, safe water to missionaries and those they serve. And so much more!

The WEM ministers by sponsoring things such as bridal and baby showers and Bible studies for the women of our church, hosting lunches (often with entertainment and devotions) and events. It's our truest desire to enrich the lives of our women.

We hope you will find a place to serve alongside us.

Director of WMU is Carolyn Stewart. Director of WEM is Michelle Herrin.

Young At Heart

Grow old along with me!

The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made. Our lives are in His hand Who saith, “A whole I planned, Youth shows but half. Trust God, see all, nor be afraid!

(From Robert Browning’s Poem: Rabbi Ben Ezra)

The Senior Adult Ministry allows for the recognition, appreciation and reward for the experiences gained and contributions made by our senior members during their many years of kingdom service and church work. Our goal is not to isolate but to integrate this valued group into the overall church program. Senior’s serve as deacons, program directors, committee members, choir members, bible study leaders and teachers, and are visible in many other areas.

In fact, their service is hardly distinguishable from that of other age groups. In addition, there are learning opportunities such as health and financial information unique to seniors, social programs, Senior Adult conferences, and other activities that both excite and expand the minds of our members. Short travel outings and an annual bus tour are enjoyed by many who would not otherwise be able to experience such on their own. Monthly fellowship meetings are usually combined with information and/or entertainment. This ministry supplements and augments the spiritual growth and service opportunities in our church while allowing members closer relationships with other persons of similar interests and needs.

“Just as you want others to do to you, you also do to them likewise.”

Luke 6:31

Our Pupose

Why We're Here

The First Baptist Church of Lyman, located in Gulfport, Mississippi, was organized in 1926 for the purpose of advancing and promoting the worship of God through:

The reading and studying of the Holy Bible as the revealed word of God.

The teaching and preaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

Conducting regular services of worship for retaining the spiritual training, development, and benefit of each member.

For the winning of lost souls to Jesus Christ.

Our church, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, is missionary in spirit, extending the Gospel through our religious channels to the local community and the entire world. We fully support Cooperative Giving through the Mississippi Baptist Convention, the Gulf Coast Baptist Association, the Baptist Student Union, the Baptist Children’s Village, and the M.L. Tootle Mission, and various missions throughout the year such as Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, Margaret Lackey State Missions, Pure Love-Pure Water, Back Pack Ministry, and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Our mission is “Taking, and helping others take, the next step toward Christ…together.” There is a place here for you – let us help you take your next step toward Christ!

About Us

What we believe

The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without mixture of error, for its matter. It reveals the principles by which God judges us; and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. The criterion by which the Bible is to be interpreted is Jesus Christ.

Exodus 24:4; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Joshua 8:34; Psalms 19:7-10;19:11,89,105,140; Isaiah 34:16; 40:8; Jeremiah 15:16; 36:1-32; Matthew 5:17-18; 22:29; Luke 21:33; 24:44-46; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
