11:00 a.m. Worship

First Baptist Church is committed to the regular worship of God, centered around our Sunday morning service. We welcome newcomers to join us! Our congregation is broad and diverse in many ways. However, we know that newcomers better equipped us to serve God, adding to our varied gifts as a congregation. You can expect to meet a group of warm, friendly people, who come from many different walks of life in our community. Dress varies. Some people wear coats and ties, or dresses, while others are more casual. We seek to involve everyone in the worship of God. Infant and toddler nurseries are provided downstairs from the sanctuary. However, children are encouraged to participate in worship. Children’s sermons are included on alternating Sundays. There are also special worship bags for children that help them engage more fully in worship. Children and youth help lead worship every week as acolytes and readers. Also, for people with hearing loss, hearing assistance devices are available for use during the service. Our ushers will assist you with these or any other needs you may have. We are grateful that you are present in worship and want to help make this time meaningful to you and glorifying to God. If you are looking for a church where you can grow spiritually while making a positive impact in the world around you, please visit and join us in worshipping God. You are most welcome!

Welcome From Our Pastor

First Baptist Church of Marion is rooted in a rich heritage and history that reaches back long before our congregation’s formation in 1862. Our foundations begin with God’s people in ancient times, Israel and the early church, whom God called to be a distinct and faithful people among the nations.

In the footsteps of these saints and especially in those of Jesus Christ, we seek to be the people and presence of God in this place and in this time. First Baptist of Marion is a vibrant and active fellowship that continues to hear God’s call today and seeks to respond to it with passion and dedication. We invite you to join us on this journey of faith. Walk with us! Be on mission with us! Join First Baptist Church as we seek to glorify God and to serve humanity.

By God’s grace,

M. Scott Hagaman Pastor
