As our mission statement says, we are always growing, dependent on God, and ministering to each other, to our community, and to the world. Browse around our website, and learn about us. Please drop in for a personal visit. If you do, I think you’ll find a vibrant downtown church and a people who are welcoming, honest, and full of hope and the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

HISTORY

Charles J. Nelson founded the first Sunday School in what was then Waynesborough in 1840. Three years later, that small group of devout Christians formed the first church in town. For 180 years, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH has been a beacon of Christ's light in Wayne County.

We have two opportunities for worship at First Baptist:

9:00 CASUAL EARLY WORSHIP

You are always invited to come and experience His presence each week in person or live on WGBR 1150 AM/98.3 FM, or on Facebook.
