First Baptist Church of Jefferson City

About this church

First Baptist Church of Jefferson City offers adult Bible study from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Sunday and a traditional worship service from 10:45 to 11:45 at 1610 Russell Avenue. The service is also available online. Designated visitor spaces sit near the sanctuary entrance, while accessible parking, a covered entrance, and an elevator support guests with mobility needs. Clothing is left to personal comfort. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers have dedicated rooms during worship; children in grades one through five begin in the sanctuary before leaving at the bulletin's designated time.

Youth in grades six through twelve gather from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday and Wednesday in Room 214 for fellowship, study, and prayer. First Baptist traces more than 181 years of worship and service from its beginnings as Mossy Creek Baptist Church and maintains a longstanding connection with the Jefferson City community and Carson-Newman University. Membership and church leadership positions are open regardless of race, social status, gender, or sexual identity. A newcomer can arrive early for adult study or use the 10:45 service as the main entry, allowing extra check-in time when bringing younger children.
