Not what you’d expect, but maybe what you're looking for...
Join us for Worship
11:00 am every Sunday
We invite all people, regardless of color, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or station in life, to be on their journey of faith, exploring what it means to follow Christ together.
First Baptist Church is a welcoming and affirming (LGBTQIA+) American Baptist Church whose arms are open to embrace everyone, just as God embraces us all without distinction. We worship God joyfully and serve Jesus enthusiastically.
We are a place of worship. But we’re also a place for people to grow roots, raise children, and grow their family through strong connections within our community. First Baptist has been an integral part of many peoples’ lives.
Generations of people are forever connected to one another through our community.

We both grew up at this church, going to Sunday School, attending summer camp, participating in youth group... We also got married here! First Baptist Church gave us a safe and welcoming place to grow up as young people and provided us with a community that would always be there for us. First Baptist is a place to come engage in meaningful worship on Sundays and be involved in a church family that welcomes you and cares about you no matter who you are.
