Welcome to the First Baptist website! Whether you've been part of the church for many years or are checking us out, this site offers a portrait of our church family.

First Baptist is located at the entrance to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. We are a church of diverse races, nations, generations, and backgrounds. People from more than 25 nations and many cultures call First Baptist their spiritual home. People are experiencing a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ, finding hope for everyday life, and making a difference in our community.

What can you expect on a Sunday morning?  You'll experience a warm welcome, awesome music, creative arts, practical messages, delicious cup of fair-trade coffee, and a safe place to ask questions. Come dressed comfortable like visiting a friend. Children have fun learning in a safe envionment at KidsWorld.

Activities are offered during the week for children, youth, college students, single adults, and married couples. There is a place for you! A safe place for your spiritual journey at your own pace. A place to belong. A place to believe. A place to become.
