First Baptist Columbia

About this church

First Baptist Columbia, also called The First Family, worships Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. at 2790 Pulaski Highway. Each service lasts about an hour and combines a mix of worship music with Bible-centered teaching. Adult small groups and classes for children from birth through sixth grade are offered during both hours; students in grades seven through twelve meet at 9:30. Preschool and elementary check-in uses matching security tags. The church also lists Hispanic small groups at 9:30 and Spanish worship at 11:00 at Northside Baptist Church, a different location from this profile’s Pulaski Highway campus.

The Southern Baptist congregation has served Columbia since 1856 and states its mission as making disciples who love God, one another, and their neighbors. Its choir, band, and technical teams lead worship, while groups for children, students, adults, men, women, and seniors support formation throughout the week. Local missions include a Tuesday 3:30 p.m. food pantry in Faith Hall that pairs groceries with a devotional, alongside broader national and international work. Two matched worship-and-group hours let families choose a convenient Sunday sequence. Anyone seeking the Spanish-language congregation should follow the Northside directions rather than arriving at the address shown here.
