First Baptist Church in East Providence

About this church

First Baptist Church in East Providence starts adult Sunday School and Kids Connection at 9:00 a.m., followed by worship at 10:00. The service normally ends around 11:30 or 11:45 and combines hymns with contemporary praise songs. Sermons explain biblical passages in their original context and apply them to everyday life; audio is recorded and posted online. Nursery care for infants through age four and Children’s Church for ages five through eleven run during worship, with age-specific Bible stories, songs, crafts, lessons, and trained adult supervision.

Wednesday Bible study meets at 7:00 p.m. for worship, Scripture, testimony, fellowship, and prayer. A separate first-Monday study brings teaching to the homes of some people who cannot regularly attend. The congregation describes itself as multicultural and multigenerational, and its local history stretches through changing municipal boundaries: it adopted its current name in 1862 when the state line made western Seekonk part of East Providence. A 2018 merger with Colonial Baptist Church became another chapter in that story. The church is at 1400 Pawtucket Avenue in Rumford and also operates a food pantry, making it a strong option for families seeking detailed children’s care and line-by-line Bible preaching.
