The purpose of Discover First is to introduce guests to the church and to help new members accomplish the following: become significantly engaged with others; grow in their relationship with Christ; get involved in missions, evangelism, and ministry; and familiarize themselves with member expectations at First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa. Discover First events are also open to current members who wish to learn how to become involved in the ministries of the church on a deeper level or to a greater capacity. Completion of the four Discover First sessions is a prerequisite for membership with First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa.
