Walking Together in Faith,
On Mission for Christ.
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,
Scott Hagaman, Pastor

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!
First Baptist Church is pleased to offer an online giving option. Contributions can be designated to specific funds or sent to the General Budget, which is the default option. Financial gifts can be made one time or can be setup on a recurring schedule.
There is also an app-based option. On your smartphone’s app store, download Abundant Giving and then choose First Baptist Church of Marion.
Of course, cash and checks are still accepted as the offering plates are passed during worship each Sunday.
Infant and toddler nurseries are provided downstairs from the sanctuary. However, children are very welcome in worship. Children’s sermons are included every Sunday. There are also special worship bags for children that help them engage more fully in worship.
Parking is provided in the Wells Fargo parking lot, in the church lot behind the fellowship hall, along Main and Fort Streets, and in other adjacent parking lots. Local businesses are closed on Sunday morning and are happy for our worshippers to use their parking.
You'll find that worshippers at First Baptist Church generally dress very casual and comfortable. These days, we don't see many suits and ties. However, among our church family, there are some who love to dress up for the Lord. However you choose to dress, please feel free to be yourself. Your attire isn't our concern. What's most important is that you are here with us to celebrate Jesus, the Savior of the world!
