First Baptist Church of Erwin

In a world that often feels rushed, noisy, and divided, the church is a place for something different.

A place where kindness still matters.
A place where neighbors become friends.
A place where burdens are shared, prayers are offered, and hearts find rest.

Whether you’ve been attending for years or haven’t stepped through the doors in a long time, you’re welcome here. Come seeking peace. Come seeking community. Come seeking hope.

There’s always a place for you at First.

For over 200 years, The First Baptist Church of Erwin, Tennessee has welcomed people seeking a loving church family in the arms of the Appalachian mountains.
