Fifth Baptist Church

About this church

Fifth Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia, holds its Sunday worship service at 11 a.m. at 1415 West Cary Street, both in person and by live stream. Sunday School meets at 10 a.m. before worship, and communion is observed on the first Sunday of each month. A midweek service is offered on Wednesdays at noon and 7 p.m. and is live streamed. The church's stated mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and to be Bible fed and Bible led, teaching the Word with simplicity so that people can apply it in daily life. Its roots go back to 1865, when a small group of formerly enslaved people began gathering to worship on Navy Hill.

Children's Church meets in person on the first Sunday of each month, with virtual lessons available every Sunday. The current building, completed in 1984, includes a fellowship hall, a commercial-size kitchen, and a Family Life Center with a full-size gym. The website also offers an e-Bible resource, a video library of past services, scholarships information, healthy living seminars, and pages on social justice and mental health. Services can be watched on the church's YouTube channel and live stream page. Confirm current times on the website or by calling the church office at (804) 355-1044.
