Watchful · Faithful · Ready
First Baptist Church Palm Coast's volunteer ministry security team — serving our congregation with professionalism, faith, and purpose.
"Here am I. Send me." — Isaiah 6:8
Everything we do is built on these foundations
Maintaining constant, deliberate awareness of our surroundings so our congregation can worship without distraction.
Grounded in our calling as believers, serving because God has placed us here for such a time as this.
Trained, equipped, and prepared to respond appropriately to any situation — always within our role and Florida law.
To provide a safe, secure, and distraction-free environment where worship, teaching, and ministry can flourish — to the glory of God and the safety of all who enter these doors.
Our Watch Team is a coordinated, visible safety presence that actively supports ministry while remaining unobtrusive, professional, and Christ-centered. We believe prevention is the goal and response is the last resort.
"We prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat."
