First Baptist Church of Malden

About this church

First Baptist Church of Malden gathers for in-person worship Sunday at 11 a.m. and posts video worship through its official site. The Main Street congregation is affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA and was founded in December 1803, marking its two-hundredth year in 2003. Choir and congregational music continue that long worship tradition, with hymns and songs treated as expressions of joy and gratitude for God's grace. Current bulletins should be checked because outdoor services and other seasonal formats sometimes replace the normal sanctuary pattern.

Community service includes helping prepare and serve free meals on the third Friday of each month. Preparation begins at 3 p.m., and meals are served from 5:30 to 6:30 through a wider local food-access partnership. The program connects with pantries, evening meals, backpacks, motel-shelter food, grocery delivery, and affordable housing work. The church is also in an announced transition with Maplewood Baptist Church toward the name Malden Community Church; because the official homepage still identifies First Baptist while the bulletin describes the launch as forthcoming, visitors should confirm the active name and location before a future visit. For now, the recurring public schedule remains Sunday at 11 at 493 Main Street.
