We are devoted to walking intimately with God and living life together.We strive for heartfelt, contemporary worship, and a relevant and compelling message, in a casual environment that is as welcoming as it is personal.

First Baptist of New Tampa

We know the passage of scripture as the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and have used it as the basis for the mission of our church, here at First Baptist, which is to transform unchurched people into mature followers of Jesus Christ.

Idlewild Baptist

Idlewild offers two different Bible Fellowship classes for the college-age student. Our largest class meets at 11:00 AM on Sunday mornings at the far end of the Student Ministries wing. After announcements in Hall 2, we break into smaller groups that are formed to fit the individual needs of each student. We have large lecture-style groups and small group discussions. We also have the options of co-ed, male, or female groups. Another Bible Fellowship time for the College-Age group is during the 8 am hour on Sunday mornings in the Student Ministries Building.
