First Baptist Church of Hewitt, Texas, exists to make fully devoted followers of Christ in Hewitt and to the ends of the earth.
We are prayerfully seeking the person God is calling to serve as our next Associate/Assistant Pastor of Worship. If you love Christ, His church, and leading God’s people in heartfelt, Christ-centered worship while shepherding them with a pastor’s heart, we invite you to consider joining us.

Who We AreFirst Baptist Church of Hewitt is a gospel-centered Southern Baptist church averaging around 200 in weekly worship. We affirm the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 and are committed to glorify God by making disciples who love Christ, love His church, and love their neighbors. Our worship is intergenerational, singing both old and new hymns in modern arrangements with a focus on replicable, congregational singing.
