Who We Are

We are a group of Christians

committed first to Jesus and to

historic Baptist principles as

seen in our participation in the

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

and our affirmation of

principles like the autonomy

of the local church and the

priesthood of all believers.

We exhibit our passion for Jesus –

  • In our worship, which is traditional, warm, and joyful;

  • In our missions, which are both local and global;

  • In our outreach, by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ;

  • In our dedication to spiritual formation and growth;

  • In our inclusivity, which includes accepting any form of Christian baptism;

  • In our affirmation of both women and men as worshippers, servants, and leaders;

  • In our affirmation of principles like the autonomy of the local church;

  • In our firm belief in the        priesthood of all believers;

  • In our welcoming care for each other, our community, and our world;

  • In our commitment, through the grace of God, to walk and work together.

If someone from First Baptist Church has invited you for a visit, please accept their invitation. We’d love you to come and grow with us!

Plan Your Visit

We understand the apprehension some people feel when visiting a place for the first time.   What will it be like?  Will the people be friendly?   How will I find my way around?

From the moment you step through our doors, we want  you to feel welcome in our family at First Baptist.  Whether you are new in Greenwood, visiting relatives in town, or looking for a church to call home, we  invite you to come and experience the warmth of the people at First Baptist.

To help you prepare for your visit, we’ve provided some tips below which we hope will answer some of your questions.

We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!
