First Baptist Church of Melrose

About this church

First Baptist Church of Melrose holds its Sunday worship service at 10 a.m. in person at 561 Main Street in Melrose. The service is also livestreamed, with the stream beginning at 9:50 a.m. and replays posted afterward. The church describes a historic Christian faith centered on the Bible and encourages visitors to come as they are. It also stresses love of neighbor and local service, and states that it does not take a political line.

Children from preschool through grade 6 have classes during the Sunday service in rooms behind the sanctuary. Kids leave just before the sermon and return for the final songs, and a caregiver stays with each child as part of a cooperative class. Children and caregivers also come forward for a short young person's sermon during worship. Adults can join a Bible Study that covers the same material as the sermon, or a men's follower group. Friendship Circle, the women's ministry, meets the first Monday of each month and supports a local organization each year. The church runs a food pantry called Pantry of Hope and hosts community events such as Movies on the Lawn. Call or text 781-665-4470 with questions, and confirm times on the website.
