First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church meets at 101 South Wilmington Street in downtown Raleigh. Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m. and worship at 11:00. The service centers on biblical themes, preaching, music, encouragement, and a call to put faith into practice. Care and spiritual teaching are available for infants and children during worship, while adults can choose from several Sunday classes. Wednesday Bible study is held in person, with the current time published through church announcements.

Established in 1812, First Baptist has served Raleigh for more than two centuries and identifies faith, justice, community service, and gospel proclamation as parts of the same legacy. Its mission is to experience God's transforming reign and to serve as a point of contact for local, national, and global outreach. The church welcomes a growing and diverse congregation and offers relationships beyond the main service through study, fellowship, meals, and community ministry. Visitors who are uncertain about attire, parking, or child care can review the official first-visit guidance. The 9:45-to-11:00 schedule makes it possible to attend both Christian education and worship in one trip.
