First Baptist Church of Columbia, MO

First Baptist Church of Columbia, MO First Baptist is a vibrant community of Christ-followers striving for unity, not uniformity. This service is led by organ and choir.

We seek to treat diversity with respect and love and nurture our faith as we journey together in the work of God's Kin-dom. First Baptist has a theological understanding that is progressive and provides an atmosphere where diversity is treated with respect and love. We are Christ-followers by conviction, Baptist by tradition, and ecumenical in spirit. We encourage each person in our community to e

xplore their faith through worshiping God, developing caring relationships with others, participating in discipleship opportunities, and engaging in mission service. First Baptist offers two worship services on Sunday Mornings.
9:15 - Awakening Worship in the Fellowship Hall. This service is led by a praise band
11:15 - Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary. First Baptist also offers small groups for children, youth, and adults during the 10:15 spiritual formation hour. For more information about our ministries visit fbc-columbia.org
