About this church
First Baptist Church of Decatur is a Baptist congregation offering worship, Sunday School, children’s ministry, youth fellowship, adult classes, widows’ ministry, and seasonal community events. Its mission and beliefs place Bible teaching and life together at the center of congregational formation. Sunday’s sequence lets families participate in worship first and then choose classes for children, youth, or adults.
Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. Children are dismissed for FBC Kids at 10:00, and Sunday School for all ages begins at 10:45. Students in grades six through twelve meet most Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 for dinner, games, fellowship, and a short Bible lesson; “most Sundays” means families should confirm the date before traveling. Journey Widows Ministry meets on the last Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m. The visitor pages should be checked for nursery ages and classroom locations, which are not included in the extracted schedule. Dated fall festivals and family events are additional outreach activities rather than replacements for Sunday worship. Because the church places classes after the service, a first-time guest can attend only worship or remain for the 10:45 formation hour.
