With growth as a Christian, we learn (sometimes the hard way) that everyone and everything has a season. As we continue to increase our online exposure, please continue to visit our website on a regular basis. Visit often, browse and enjoy!

First Baptist Church has been part of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community since 1877. We are rich in history and purpose.

As you browse through our website, you'll see just a small glimpse into our Church home. Please feel free to join us for worship anytime.

Our purpose as a church is to "Love God and Love People".

We are influenced by Matthew 22:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

We realize that Christ has made it so simple for us, but although it sounds so easy, we realize there needs to be a community around to support those who are striving to follow Christ's words and example.

First Baptist Church is a Great Place to Be!

We are located in Mappsville, Virginia
