First Baptist Church of North Augusta

What First Baptist Church of North Augusta does

First Baptist Church of North Augusta (FBCNA) is an independent, self-governing Baptist congregation founded in 1902 and headquartered at 625 Georgia Avenue in North Augusta, South Carolina. It operates Sunday programming (Connection Groups at 9:15 AM and Family Worship at 10:30 AM at its 602 Georgia Avenue Worship Center), Wednesday midweek activities, and a Weekday preschool program. The church is led by Senior Pastor David Sons with a pastoral and administrative team of approximately 18 paid staff covering executive, student, senior adult, missions, media, worship, counseling, preschool, and facilities functions, and is governed by a board of deacons chaired by Randy Cooper.

FBCNA runs a unified digital ministry stack built on a SnapPages-hosted website (csrachurch.org) that links to an FBCNA Digital Library, a Sermon Library organized by series and scripture, a YouTube archive, a live-streaming platform (fbcna.online.church), a dedicated mobile app, an online prayer request system, and an integrated RightNow Media Bible study subscription. Content is organized into dedicated ministry tracks for children (Kidzone, Weezone), students, women, men, young adults, senior adults, and community groups.

The financial model is that of a traditional nonprofit religious organization: revenue is generated almost entirely from voluntary tithes, offerings, and donations, captured through in-service collections, online giving, text-to-give (text GIVE to 803-672-6720), mailed checks, and a member self-service portal (my.fbcna.org). Adjacent revenue includes tuition from the Weekday preschool. No commercial products or services are sold, and no financial figures are publicly disclosed.
