First Baptist Church in Dorchester

About this church

First Baptist Church in Dorchester sits at the corner of Ashmont and Adams Streets in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and gathers for Sunday morning worship at 10:30 a.m. The service is held in person and is also streamed over Zoom, so people who cannot travel can join by video on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The church describes itself as a growing church serving a growing community. A weekly Bible study meets Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., and this one is Zoom-only rather than held at the building. The Zoom link is posted on the Events page.

Outreach is a visible part of church life. On the first Sunday of each month, deacons and members lead a service of music, communion, and a spiritual message for residents of Standish Village Assisted Living in Lower Mills. A sock ministry, run together with Pilgrim Church in Dorchester, collects socks and other clothing such as rain ponchos, hats, gloves, and scarves, then hands them out on Saturdays at Boston Common. A prison ministry serves inmates at the Nashua Street Jail in Boston and works with houses of correction around Massachusetts. The church also hosts special services around Holy Week and a Christmas candlelight celebration. Visitors can find the church at 401 Ashmont Street, call (617) 282-1391, and should confirm times on the website before attending.
