First Baptist Church in Newton

About this church

First Baptist Church in Newton, in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, holds intergenerational worship on Sundays at 10 a.m. Services have recently been held in the Chapel while work is done on the historic bell tower, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can enter from the Beacon Street entrance at the top of the ramp or through the main entrance off the parking lot, and a lot behind the church is open to all, entered from Centre Street. The Newton Centre stop on the Green Line is nearby. Communion is open to everyone who wishes to participate.

An adult Sunday School class meets at 9 a.m. to read and discuss a new book each year, and a refreshment and social hour follows worship at 11 a.m. On the first Sunday of each month, a community lunch follows the service. Evening series sometimes offer scripture study and faith discussion. Children worship alongside adults, with coloring pages and activities available, and the church offers occasional children's faith formation and arts programming. Ministry teams focus on compassion in action, congregational life, property, and Christian education. The church belongs to American Baptist Churches USA. Call (617) 244-2997 to confirm times.
