Welcome to First Baptist Church

We at First Baptist Church invite you to worship with us!  No matter where you are at on life’s journey, you are welcome here!


We believe that God loves all of creation, and through Jesus Christ we are brought into fellowship with God. We are a family, proclaiming the love and grace of God, as found in God's Word. All are welcome at First Baptist Church - those who believe as well as those who are seeking.


At each service we gather for meaningful worship to study God’s word. We reach out with the heart of ministry to care for our neighbors in the name of Christ here and around the world. We have fun and fellowship in a variety of activities ranging from dinners to sporting events. As we work and worship together we find that our faith grows as we enjoy friends old and new.


You will discover many exciting opportunities at First Baptist Church. Our website is just the introduction to the spirit of our church. We want you to feel at home and comfortable here. We are pleased to welcome you as part of a growing and diverse Christian community.


Please join us for an upcoming worship service. There’s a place for you here at First Baptist Church.

Pastoral Installation Service of Pastor Darian C. Bouie


With grateful hearts and great excitement, the First Baptist Church family invites you to join us for a historic and spirit-filled celebration as we formally install Rev. Darian C. Bouie as the 11th Pastor in our church's 213-year legacy and the youngest pastor to ever serve in this sacred role.

This special service marks not only a new chapter for our congregation but also a powerful move of God as we honor the past and boldly step into the future. We are thrilled to witness how God will lead us under Pastor Bouie's visionary, faithful, and compassionate leadership.

Come celebrate this milestone moment with us-through worship, word, and the uniting of hearts across generations. We'd love to have you, your family, and your church community join us for this unforgettable day.
