The Church at Kettering - A Campus of First Baptist Kettering

About this church

The Church at Kettering is First Baptist Kettering's Ackerman Boulevard campus, opened in April 2026. It currently offers one Sunday service at 11:00 a.m., with Kids Ministry for infants through second grade during the same hour. The campus describes worship as Christ-exalting and the sermon as an expository message from Scripture. Dress and prior church experience are not treated as barriers; the invitation is to enter a new, growing campus where staff want to know people personally and introduce them to Jesus.

Campus pastor Ralph Green IV came to full-time ministry after eleven years as an Air Force explosive-ordnance technician and later served on the replant team for First Baptist Kettering's Eastmont campus. The Kettering plant partners with the North American Mission Board and Send Network and shares First Baptist Kettering's Southern Baptist beliefs, mission relationships, and broader ministry resources. Weekday group offerings are still growing, which is worth knowing when comparing this location with an established large-campus schedule. For now, the profile is simple and location-specific: one 11:00 gathering, young-child ministry through second grade, expository preaching, and the energy of a newly opened campus.
