First Baptist Church of Santa Fe

About this church

First Baptist Church of Santa Fe holds all-age Connection Groups at 9:15 a.m. Sunday and worship from 10:30 until noon at 1605 Old Pecos Trail. Wednesday prayer begins at 5:45 p.m. Two double-door entrances face the parking lot, and typical clothing is described as nice casual. Greeters can direct newcomers to the Worship Center or a group, reducing the guesswork on a large first morning.

Santa Fe's first Protestant society was established in July 1849 through the Baptist Home Mission Society. Missionary Hiram Walter Read brought the town's first melodeon by covered wagon on a three-month journey, and later Baptist workers traveling toward California helped establish a lasting local ministry. Today's church combines Bible study, worship, friendship, ministry teams, and community service. Children's Connection Group serves ages four through eleven in Room 205 and partners with parents to cultivate love for God, Scripture, church, and mission; youth and adult groups meet simultaneously. The beliefs statement emphasizes salvation through Jesus rather than human effort, the church as a covenant community of baptized believers, and disciple-making. A first-time household can arrive at 9:15 for separate age groups or come directly for the ninety-minute service, with Wednesday prayer offering a smaller midweek point of entry.
