First Baptist Church is an American Baptist congregation, one of the most diverse Christian denominations today. With 5,500 local congregations comprising 1.3 million members across the United States and Puerto Rico, we choose to serve as the hands and feet of Christ.

Our mission is both "across the street" and "around the world." We provide personal, prayerful, and practical support to mission opportunities in our own community, our region, and around the globe.
