About this church
First Baptist Church of Mappsville is a historically Black Baptist congregation on Virginia's Eastern Shore, founded in 1877. Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. and can be joined inside the church, from the parking area on FM 88.9, or through Facebook Live. Communion is observed on the fourth Sunday of each month. The congregation summarizes its purpose as loving God and loving people, a theme carried through more than a century of local ministry.
The church's website preserves its history while also publishing current events and fundraising for a planned annex, showing an active community building for future ministry. Bible study, choir, trustees, and other service opportunities give members ways to participate beyond Sunday worship. First Baptist is located at 14371 Metompkin Road in Mappsville; some directories group the address under Hallwood, so the street address is the clearest navigation reference. Midweek information on the site is not fully consistent, and visitors should confirm the latest Bible-study or phone gathering time directly with the church.
