First Baptist Church Kentwood

About this church

First Baptist Church Kentwood gathers for morning worship at 10:30 Sunday at 310 Avenue E, with additional Sunday and Wednesday evening activities listed at 6. The visitor page directs newcomers toward preschool and children's ministries, music and worship, prayer requests, and other needs rather than leaving those contacts buried. Current staff and contact pages repeat the weekly schedule, making it easier to verify the meeting rhythm before traveling.

The congregation was organized on March 12, 1893, when twenty Kentwood residents transferred from Osyka Baptist Church and began an independent fellowship before Kentwood itself incorporated as a town. Members initially met twice monthly in a combined town hall and schoolhouse, then voted six months later to construct a dedicated place of worship. First Baptist's statement of faith follows historic Baptist teaching on the Trinity, God's providence, Jesus' saving death and promised return, the work of the Holy Spirit, Scripture, worship, evangelism, and service. That doctrinal detail helps visitors distinguish the church's convictions from its practical schedule. Someone planning a first visit can attend the 10:30 morning service or contact the church about the appropriate 6 p.m. Sunday or Wednesday ministry, since evening formats may vary. Families can ask specifically about age-based care, while people needing prayer have a direct route through the newcomer page.
