First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church of West offers Sunday worship at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m., with Bible study at 9:15, at 501 North Marable Street. The church describes itself as a Christ-centered, biblically grounded family of disciples sharing hope in the community. Its long local history includes a Texas Historical Commission marker dedicated during the congregation’s 125th anniversary and extensive relief work after the 2013 West fertilizer-plant explosion.

The main parking lot is across the street on West Virginia, with additional lots on North Marable and behind the church. Greeters direct families after they enter. Infants may remain in worship, use the supervised nursery, or stay with a parent in a cry room whose one-way window looks into the worship center. The church often publishes the day’s announcements and sermon notes through the YouVersion Bible app under Events. Children also have a Wednesday-night ministry. For a first Sunday, the schedule supports several approaches: early worship followed by Bible study, Bible study followed by late worship, or a single service, with nursery and cry-room flexibility and three identified parking areas.
