Richmond's First Baptist Church is a unique congregation where people from diverse cultural, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds join together to put God’s love in action. All find a home in our church with opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, and service.

Our people celebrate and draw strength from our diversity, which finds its unity in the Lord Jesus Christ. We embrace an international perspective with more than ten different languages spoken among our members. Men and women serve as deacons and as ordained staff in leading services and preaching sermons.
