Roger Williams gathered the First Baptist Church in America in 1638 on the bedrock of religious liberty, with its principles of soul freedom and the separation of church and state. Together, we continue our ministry of welcome and liberation.
This congregation honors its Baptist heritage. Many of our members are lifelong Baptists and others come from varied denominational and religious backgrounds. We welcome all people of every age, race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, cultural background, socio-economic status, mental or physical ability, marital status, and any other distinctions of society. We are diverse people united in Christ. We remain a safe harbor.

Stephen Martorella, Ministry of Music, and creator of our online worship services will be back from vacation this week and will start posting the services again.
If you hear, hammering, banging and things falling at the Meeting House during the next few weeks, lift your voice in celebration. The dream of an ADA compliant bathroom is coming true.
A group from First Baptist in America, Phillips Memorial Baptist, and Allendale Baptist will be traveling to the Dominican Republic on January 25. We will spend a week providing medical clinics to the sugar cane workers and continuing work on the Good Samaritan Hospital.
We are collecting granola bars, sanitizing wipes, water bottles, cheese/peanut butter crackers, and socks to place into blessing bags that you can hand to homeless people you meet on your travels.
If you'd like to donate supplies or pick up a couple bags to hand out, stop by the office.
