First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church of Spencer holds all-ages Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and morning worship at 10:45. A typical service lasts about an hour and includes prayer, both hymns and contemporary songs, an offering, a children's Bible lesson, choir or special music, and a sermon. Baptism, Communion, or another special element may extend the service by 15 to 30 minutes, and a weekly bulletin outlines what comes next. Dress ranges from suits and dresses to casual clothing. Newborns through age three can use the nursery, but the congregation also welcomes young children's movement and sound in the sanctuary.

After worship, Warrior Kids and Power House Youth both meet at noon during the school year. Children share snacks, games, and a Bible lesson; middle- and high-school students combine study, food, games, trips, and seasonal events. Wednesday Bible study begins at 6:00 p.m., followed by choir rehearsal at 7:00. Established in 1856, this self-governing congregation is affiliated with the Good Hope Baptist Association, West Virginia Baptist Convention, and American Baptist Churches USA. Its local outreach includes the Helping Hand Food Pantry, while national and international mission support travels through Baptist partners. Visitors will find a compact Sunday sequence—class, worship, then children's or youth programming—within a historic Main Street congregation.
