“Our goal is to establish the need for absolute dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ, in order to experience unhindered freedom, healing for our wounds, and the courage to face tomorrow with hope.”
First Naples seeks to encourage and support all who come our way, leading each one into a personal saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our desire is to help you grow into a mature believer, fully equipped to handle life’s difficulties with the truth of God’s Word.
Our counseling team provides Biblical discipleship, guidance, encouragement and coaching. Together, we will examine patterns of thinking, speaking, and behavior that may undermine stability and take away from the victorious life promised through Christ. Establishing a scriptural foundation for life will change every day living and equip each of us to make wise choices.

Wedding Policy
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24
Weddings are a beautiful celebration of the Lord joining one male and one female in a life long commitment to each other and the Lord for His glory. First Naples (First Baptist Church Naples) only performs weddings for current members. All weddings performed by First Naples are conducted in accordance with the Biblical guidelines set forth by church leadership. Our church leadership considers marriage a union between a biological man and a biological woman.
