First Baptist Church of Camarillo

First Baptist Church is located in Ventura County at 1601 Temple Avenue in the heart of Camarillo. Our church is a fellowship of believers in Christ who meet regularly.

Above all, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We use the Bible as our authority in all aspects of life. We believe that the power of the gospel can change lives as we come to Christ and accept Him personally and His payment of our sin.

We invite you to visit our website—www.fbccamarillo.com and hope it will give you an idea of the ministries we have at our church. We are ready to help you come to know Jesus Christ personally and help you grow in your faith if you are already a believer. Now that you have learned a little about our church, come visit us during one of our services and you are welcome to get involved in some of our activities.

Our Identity

First Baptist Church is a body of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who have experienced His saving grace through faith in His sacrifice for our sins on the cross. We have followed Him in believers’ baptism by immersion and know Him personally as our living Lord through His bodily resurrection and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

Church Worship and Ordinances

We believe we are exhorted to gather faithfully for worship of God our creator on the first day of the week in celebration of Christ’s resurrection. All believers should honor the Lord’s day. We observe the two ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper that Christ gave to His church. The ordinances picture the gospel of Christ and symbolically illustrate immersion illustrating His death, burial, and resurrection. The bread and juice in the Lord’s Supper cause us to remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. These ordinances are for believers and are administered by our church.

Church Support, Leadership, Involvement, and Work

We believe the church ministry is supported by the continual, faithful giving of our membership in tithes and offerings. The Pastor is our spiritual leader and is assisted in ministry by our deacons. Every believer should be part of and have a ministry in the local church as the visible body of Christ. We are committed to sharing the saving message of the gospel with everyone.
