First Baptist Church Of Moore

What First Baptist Church Of Moore does

First Moore Baptist Church (legal name: First Moore Baptist Church; formerly First Baptist Church of Moore) is an independent Baptist nonprofit religious organization founded with the construction of its Worship Center in 1985, headquartered at 301 NE 27th Street, Moore, Oklahoma. The church operates a single-campus ministry model serving a multi-generational congregation through Sunday worship services (10:30am) and Life Groups (9:00am), weekday programming including Wednesday-night meals and ministry activities, and a broad portfolio of age-segmented programs: Preschool Ministry (infants through kindergarten), Kids Ministry (1st-6th grade using 'Bible Skills, Drills, and Thrills' curriculum), Students Ministry (7th-12th grade), and Adults Ministry including Men's, Women's, Singles & Seniors, and Hispanic (Ministerio Hispano) segments.

The organization is supported by 17 paid employees under Senior Pastor Charlie Blount (called February 2020) and an Associate Pastor of Administration and Communications, Tyler Kelley, with a deacon body chaired by Don Stanley. The church operates two wholly-owned program subsidiaries — First Learning Center (FLC), a weekday preschool/childcare operation, and The Link, a recreation center offering sports programs — alongside a community food pantry restricted to six zip codes (73135, 73139, 73149, 73159, 73160, 73170) serving residents every Monday.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary congregational tithes and offerings, with small fee streams from Wednesday meals ($5/person, $20 family max), Parents' Night Out childcare ($5/child, $20 family max), and FLC tuition. The organization executed a $6.5 million capital project (Worship Center remodel plus replacement of approximately 60 HVAC units) completed March 2024, financed through a $1.5 million 'For the Future' campaign plus $5.2 million in debt. A second $1.5 million 'All In' campaign launched December 2024 aims to retire that debt by end of 2026. Technology stack consists of a Squarespace website, onRealm online giving platform, RightNow Media content library, YouTube/Facebook/LinkedIn social channels, and Jotform intake forms — all third-party SaaS with no proprietary AI or technology differentiation.

Direct peers

• Henderson Hills Baptist Church: Edmond, Oklahoma-area Baptist church with comparable ministry breadth including kids, students, and adult programs. Similar scale and Baptist theology position it as a close direct peer in the OKC metro ministry ecosystem.

• Council Road Baptist Church: Bethany/Oklahoma City-area Southern Baptist church with similar multi-generational ministry programming. Comparable congregation size, Baptist affiliation, and suburban Oklahoma market overlap make it a relevant peer.
• Quail Springs Baptist Church: Oklahoma City-area Baptist church of comparable scale that also operates a weekday education program (First Moore's Director of Kids Ministry, Rachel Coleman, previously served there as Director of Weekday Education for four years). Highly comparable in ministry portfolio, Baptist affiliation, and Oklahoma market.

Not a direct ministry competitor but operates in the same Oklahoma preschool/childcare space as First Moore's First Learning Center, providing relevant operational and competitive context for the faith-based preschool business.
