First Baptist Church Madison is known for equipping members for ministry. Much of our training is accomplished through a comprehensive Discipleship Training program.

Studies provide foundations in doctrine, ethics, polity, theology, and history. In addition, training in witnessing, leadership, family, parenting, finances, prayer life, counseling, discipleship and many other subjects are regularly offered. The studies vary in length from a few weeks to several months. There are two main times during the year when courses are started. The Fall Semester begins the last of August and Winter-Spring Semester begins the first of February. During the year there are studies of particular interest that are one session to four session studies. Most studies are held at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday evenings.

There are needs in every community and church that require Christians in the church to meet those needs. We have several of those groups meeting right now. Call the church office for the specific times that they meet.

Divorce Recovery - Circumstances in life cause marriages to break up and when they do there needs to be a time of healing and of rebuilding life's direction in Christ. This group helps in that area of life.

AA and AA. Families - Meet weekly on Tuesday evening. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
