First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church in Vernon, Alabama, gathers for Sunday morning worship at 10:30 a.m., with Sunday School and small groups beginning at 9:30 a.m. The congregation is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. It describes its single morning service as blended, with a praise team and expository preaching in a laid-back atmosphere. Services typically last about an hour and fifteen minutes, and visitors are invited to wear whatever feels comfortable. Wednesday evening small groups for all ages begin at 6:30 p.m.

Children's ministry serves birth through sixth grade. During Sunday worship, the church offers a nursery for birth to 18 months, a toddler children's church, and a school-age children's church for ages four to eight. Children take part in worship and then leave before the sermon for an age-appropriate message. A private mother's room is next to the sanctuary, and all staff and volunteers have background checks. A Wednesday night children's program meets from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., with focused care for children with special needs.

Other ministries include youth, college, women, men, and senior adult groups, plus a disc golf course, Mission Vernon, Operation Christmas Child, and a daycare. The website also lists a live stream page and a sermon archive. The church is at 9071 Hwy 18 West; confirm current times on the website before visiting.
