Who We Are
What we believe, what to expect upon your first visit, and our ministry team.
Our Mission
God's mission for us is to love people wherever they are and teach them to live as followers of Jesus Christ.
What to Expect
When you walk through our doors, you’ll find a diverse group of people united by shared values and a commitment to living out our faith together. Come as you are and discover a place where you can find connection, purpose, and belonging in a community that supports and grows together on our spiritual journey.

Vickie Riggs
Senior Adult Ministry
Vickie is our Minister of Senior Adults and Bereavement. Originally from Joplin, Missouri, she has been on staff for 40 years as Family Life Associate and then Senior Adult Minister. She often says the Lord did not call her to First Baptist Church but rather to Norman, Ok. where a ministry at First Baptist was waiting for her. She loves to plan creative and fun itineraries for the Senior Adults. She gets great joy from traveling with them and watching them enjoy their retirement. She also enjoys reading, writing and game nights with friends. Her favorite place would be sitting in the woods along side a cool stream or in a prairie field full of spring flowers. Vickie did her undergraduate work at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, Missouri and graduate work at the University of Oklahoma. Her undergraduate degree was in social work/psychology and graduate studies in therapeutic recreation and church recreation. Vickie considers being on staff for 40 years a continuous blessing in her life.
