Dear
Friends,
Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Fairmont, West Virginia. I am
pleased you are visiting with us today, and I pray that you will find the content of this page helpful and informative.
First Baptist Church is a caring, serving, community of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We proclaim his new
life to the world. We assist Christians in discovering and using their unique gifts for service to our brothers
and sisters locally, nationally, and internationally, to the Glory of God.
Our denomination is the American
Baptist Churches, USA. And we are a member church of the Fairmont
Association and of the West Virginia
Baptist Convention. We uphold the importance of the "priesthood
of believers." We believe that all Christians—laypersons and clergy—have special callings to be ministers
for Jesus Christ. We care about one another and we serve others in mission.
If you are looking for a church home, come and worship with us. You will
find a warm welcoming atmosphere; several opportunities for worship
and Bible study; people who are active in their church and in
their communities; and many ways you can be of service to others.
Come, Grow With Us!
Our Vision.
