As an American Baptist congregation, First Baptist practices congregational polity.  Local congregations carry on autonomous ministry with the membership being the final authority on issues of belief and practice.  As an active part of American Baptist Churches of Michigan and American Baptist Churches USA, First Baptist cooperates in mission and ministry with other churches across our region and nation.  Each person’s gifts and faith are important here as a necessary part in being the Body of Christ.
