First Baptist Church

Description

The First Baptist Church in Worcester, Massachusetts, is approaching its 200th Anniversary. The church was founded in 1812 to provide a witness in Worcester and beyond for the "Free Church Tradition," originally begun in England and then spread to this country largely by the influence of Baptists, but also including others. It was the third of the churches to be established in Worcester.

First Baptist is broadly ecumenical and open in its membership, welcoming all God's people into our congregation.Our members, who have come from a variety of Christian traditions, find in First Baptist a place where all may serve Christ together. We appreciate the uniqueness of, and strive to include, everyone into the full life of First Baptist Church.
