First Baptist Cares is the nonprofit outreach arm of First Baptist Church- both are led by Pastor/Dr. William Ladd (who is tri-vocational and is also full-time staff member at Woodmore Elementary). Their most impactful work over the past few years has been through their mental health initiative. They’ve organized a group of therapists of color and have connected families in need with licensed therapeutic support. They’ve made strides in destigmatizing the use of mental health support in the Black community and in helping clients appreciate how unaddressed trauma can have a cumulative negative effect on all of life. Their mission is to connect the underserved and marginalized within our community with essential living and life resources to flourish socially, economically, and spiritually.
