First Baptist Church of Westfield

About this church

First Baptist Church of Westfield is a Baptist congregation at 170 Elm Street in Westfield, New Jersey. Sunday worship is listed at 10:30 a.m. The sanctuary is built in a "church in the round" style, with the minister on the same level as the congregation and the organist and choir seated among the worshipers, so music and participation sit at the center of the service. Four large screens help visitors follow along. The baptistry is placed prominently in the sanctuary, and the church celebrates believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper as its two ordinances.

The church describes its vision as joyful worship, sharing God's love, connecting daily life to Christian truth, and responding to needs in the community, nation, and world. Its faith covenant highlights Christian education, Bible study, prayer, and service, along with mutual support in fellowship. The sanctuary's ten stained-glass windows, each carrying a Christian symbol and a Scripture verse, were dedicated with the building in 1922 and kept when the sanctuary was remodeled in 1970. The website lists no program details beyond Sunday worship, so visitors with questions about children's classes, parking, or other activities can call (908) 233-2278 or write to the church through the contact page.
