First Baptist Church of Palm Coast

What First Baptist Church of Palm Coast does

First Baptist Church of Palm Coast (FBCPC, DBA) is a Southern Baptist congregation headquartered on a 23-acre campus at 6050 Palm Coast Pkwy NW, Palm Coast, Florida, with nearly 100,000 square feet of classroom space and 12 listed staff. The church operates as a nonprofit religious organization affiliated with the St. John's River Baptist Association and the Florida Baptist Convention, and has been led by Senior Pastor Kevin Lautar since 2016. Its mission is to help people know and love like Jesus, executed through multi-service worship (three Sunday services at 8:00am, 9:15am and 10:45am, plus Wednesday at 6:00pm), age-tiered Sunday School, and a structured adult education program called the 4:12 Institute that offers courses in Apologetics, Theology, Old Testament Overview, New Testament Overview, Spiritual Disciplines, and Worship.

The core technology platform is a content-driven website (fbcpc.org) hosted on Webflow, supporting sermon archives, online event registration, and livestream viewing; weekly services are also broadcast via Facebook Live, and a YouTube channel (PK Breakfast Club) carries supplementary content. Member management, event registration and online giving are handled through the Realm (onRealm) SaaS platform, with payment processing supporting one-time and recurring credit/debit gifts. Distribution is hybrid: in-person on the Palm Coast campus plus digital livestream, supplemented by off-site signature events such as the Summer Conference on Baptist History, the Women's Retreat at Lake Yale, and the Lancaster PA trip operated through Diamond Tours.

Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings collected via the online giving portal, supplemented by nominal cost-recovery fees for 4:12 Institute courses ($5–$20 per course inclusive of study books) and paid retreats and trips. Customer segments span local community members, adults seeking theological education, children and students, and women's ministry participants. The church markets through its website, Facebook livestream, YouTube, Google Calendar, and the Realm platform, with no public stock listing, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds.
