A Legacy of Faith in the Heart of Independence 

For over 150 years, First Baptist Church has been a steadfast witness of God’s love in our community. From our vibrant K.I.D.Z. Street programs to our active Senior Adult ministries, we strive to create a nurturing environment where every generation can encounter Jesus. Whether you are a fourth-generation member or a first-time visitor, there is a place for you to grow, serve, and belong. You are welcome to be our guest this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for a blend of traditional and contemporary worship as we seek to follow Christ together.
