First Baptist Church Kotzebue

About this church

First Baptist Church in Kotzebue, Alaska, is a Southern Baptist congregation at 331 Shore Ave., about 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The homepage lists Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m., while the contact page shows 10 a.m., so first-time visitors should confirm the start time with the church before coming. A midweek Bible study meets on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The church says it ministers to both the Inupiat community and other local residents, and it points to the Southern Baptist statement of faith, The Baptist Faith and Message, as a guide to what it believes.

Beyond the Sunday and Wednesday gatherings, the church lists community outreach and spiritual guidance among its ministries, directed to Inupiat residents and other locals in Kotzebue and the surrounding villages. It also serves as the mother church for four mission churches along the Kobuk River, supporting them with resources and guidance. The website does not describe children's or youth programs, parking, dress expectations, or a livestream, so visitors with questions about those details can call 907-442-3294 or use the contact form on the site. Service times can change, so it is wise to confirm them before visiting.
