A Welcoming Church:
Thinking Critically and Growing Spiritually;
Loving and Supporting Each Other;
Living Out Our Faith.

​
Love requires that we care for and protect everyone who wants to worship at First Baptist Church.

​In faithfulness to our calling we are meeting both in person and over Zoom at this time.  We invite everyone to participate in whichever way is best for you.

Visit for Sunday Worship

9:00 a.m. Adult Sunday School
10:00 a.m. Worship
11:00 a.m. Refreshments & Second Hour
Our community gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. both in our Sanctuary, a beautiful space dating back to 1888, and in a smaller space we call the Chapel. We gather to sing, to pray, and to listen.  The Chapel can be reached by the back door from the parking lot or by the ramp on the Beacon Street side of the building.


We share the bread and the cup of Communion on the first Sunday of each month with an open table (meaning anyone who wants to share the bread and the cup are invited to do so).   

​
We meet to worship God, to discover the way of Jesus, to connect with community, and to explore ways we can serve one another and others. New people energize and deepen our experience together. We consider it a gift when you visit!

Kids, Students, and Parents 

We're working together to create a community where kids are free to be kids, to develop as the spiritual beings they are, to come to know themselves as loved by God.
​
We have a nurturing and professionally-staffed space for both 0-5yrs and K-5 children, where they can explore the stories of the Bible and life in community together.

Of course, children are always welcome to worship alongside the adults during our 10am worship service.

Groups and Gatherings

Life happens best in smaller groups.   On Sunday morning, we gather as a large group for worship.  At other times, we gather in smaller groups. Some groups meet on an ongoing basis, some for a defined period or around a specific project or initiative.  If you have a group you would like to check out or start, email info[at]fbcnewton.org
