First Baptist Church of Independence

About this church

First Baptist Church of Independence is a long-established Oregon congregation whose documented history begins in 1869. Worship, adult and children’s Sunday School, Bible studies, prayer, Awana, youth ministry, senior fellowship, sermons, and community events continue that local presence. Its children’s programs emphasize biblical learning and long-term relationships, while the church’s public question-and-answer material addresses common misunderstandings about Christianity in an unusually direct format.

The current church calendar lists adult Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and children’s Sunday School during the 11:00 hour. The selected official pages do not clearly label the main worship start, so visitors should confirm it with the church rather than infer that every 11:00 calendar entry is a separate service. During the school year, Awana for prekindergarten through sixth grade begins with dinner Wednesday at 5:30 and clubs at 6:00; youth Bible study follows at 7:30. The calendar shows those programs resuming in September 2026, while the ministry page still carries an older May end date, so the live calendar is the better seasonal source. A bimonthly senior potluck meets on the second Tuesday at noon when scheduled.
