Be Disciples to Make Disciples
Elgin First Baptist Church (EFBC) is located on the outskirts of Elgin, Iowa, in the rural, scenic river valleys of Northeast Iowa. EFBC is a fellowship of believers who gather together from multiple surrounding communities for solid teaching and fellowship each week, small groups, prayer groups, and serve together locally and globally to carry out the great commission.
Vision Statement
Guided by the Holy Spirit, EFBC is:
A community where authenticity, biblical knowledge, prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and active participation thrive.
A congregation that is committed to being disciples who make disciples, rooted in the inspired and inerrant Word of God.
A church that aims to cultivate a culture of genuine faith, deep biblical understanding, and fervent prayer.
A fellowship of dedicated disciples whose goal is to reach others with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
A caring family of God whose members bear one another's burdens, and who are growing intentionally to be like Christ.
Followers of Jesus on a mission transform lives, engaging our local community, and extending God's love and grace to others, with every member actively participating in this mission.
A congregation that spiritually reproduces through developing leaders, engaging in church planting, and sending out and supporting missionaries.
