First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church stands at 200 Love Street near Main Street in downtown Erwin. Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m. and worship follows at 11:00. The congregation describes its service as “modern-traditional,” combining the character of its historic sanctuary with a format intended for present-day worshipers. Online worship is available, and Sunday School options include nursery care, classes for children and teenagers, several adult groups, an intergenerational class, and a Spanish-language class.

The church frames its mission as being “in Christ for community” and “in community for Christ.” Its Baptist identity includes affirmation of the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message along with historic Baptist commitments to Bible, soul, church, and religious freedom. Community life extends beyond Sunday through children’s missions, youth Bible study, music, adult formation, and Main Street Market, an ongoing food ministry serving local households. The congregation also maintains relationships with both Baptist and cooperative ministry bodies, reflecting the ecumenical outlook described on its site. Midweek offerings and food-distribution details can change, so consult the church calendar before planning around them.
