First African Baptist Church

About this church

First African Baptist Church in Savannah gathers for worship on Sunday at 10 a.m., preceded by a Sunday school session called Empowerment Hour at 9 a.m. The Sunday service is also broadcast live on Facebook at 10 a.m. The Baptist congregation meets at 23 Montgomery Street in historic downtown Savannah and describes itself as the oldest continuous Black church in North America. Its stated mission is seeking God, shaping lives, and serving the world, and the site says all are invited to worship.

During the week, Bible study meets on Thursday at noon and again at 6 p.m. Corporate prayer takes place every morning at 6:33 a.m. by conference line, with the call-in details posted on the worship schedule page. The ministry directory lists groups including music, youth, young adult, senior saints, new disciples, Stephen Ministry, deacons, deaconesses, hospitality, culinary, ushers, parking, transportation, and media. Because the church sits on a well-known historic site, history tours are offered Monday through Saturday at 1 p.m. on the current tour schedule. Online giving is available through the website, and past services can be watched in a video archive. Visitors should confirm service and tour times on the church's website before attending.
