Welcome to First Baptist

For more than 170 years, people have gathered here to worship, ask questions, grow in faith, and care for one another. Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome to come, learn, participate, and find your place among us.

Faith lived together


Church is more than what happens on Sunday morning. At First Baptist, you’ll find opportunities to learn together, build friendships, serve our community, and share life across generations.

Whether you’re looking for Bible fellowship, activities for children and families, a good conversation, or a way to serve, there are many ways to take part.


How we try to live

Love God

We want to know God more deeply and follow where God leads. Through prayer, worship, and learning, we grow in faith together and share the hope we have found in Christ.

Love Within

Church should feel like a place where you are known and cared for. We show up for one another in hard seasons, celebrate the good ones, and make room for real relationships to grow.

Love Beyond

Our faith sends us outward into the community around us. We serve our neighbors, support local needs, and look for practical ways to bring hope, kindness, and light throughout Monroe.
