First Baptist offers a "home away from home" for students to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ in a supportive community. Students from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Hampshire College, Hallmark School of Photography, and more are part of the church family. Students from many nations and diverse cultures are among our campus community.

Classic Worship is on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. If you prefer a sacred environment and ancient traditions like classic hymns, orchestra music, choir songs, prayerful reflection and a relevant message this worship celebration is for you.

Contemporary Worship is on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. If you like a relaxed environment and worship songs led by a worship band, faith stories, creative arts, drama sketches, video clips, interesting interviews, and a relevant message this is for you.

College Lunch is served at noon each Sunday of the school year to help students build community together and get to know people in our church family. There is such thing as a free lunch!

Growth Groups are small groups of 8-12 people that meet to support each other, study the Bible, and serve together. See the Growth Groups page for descriptions of the 19 groups this semester.
