Need a prayer?

There are times when life is overwhelming, and all we have are questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to pray with you!

FBC 200TH ANNIVERSARY

The First Baptist Church has been a light in our community since January 1, 1824. Not only has the Gospel of Jesus Christ been preached from its pulpit, but the spacious edifice has been used for gatherings of civic interest and for the benefit of the community. The second building the church congregation built to accommodate more people in 1859 burnt to the ground in the Great Fire of 1902.

Doctrinal Statement

First Baptist Church of Paterson

We believe in one God in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
(1 John 5:7; Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.
(2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
We believe in the virgin birth, death, burial, and physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Luke 1:35; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Luke 24:39)
We believe that every person is born with a sinful nature. Therefore, we have to be "born again" spiritually.
(Romans 3:23; 6:23 and 10:9-10; John 1:12 and 3:3)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is both God and man. Therefore, He is the bridge between Holy God and sinful man.
(Romans 9:5; 1 John 5:20; 1 Timothy 2:5)
We believe in salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, his blood atonement for sin, and his vicarious substitution on the cross of Calvary.
(Ephesians 1:13-14; John 5:22 and 10:28-29; 1 John 5:18)
We believe in the ordinance of baptism by immersion in water after a person has accepted Christ as his or her personal Savior.
(Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:41 and 8:37-39)
We believe in the ordinance of The Lord’s Supper as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice for our sins.
(Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
We believe in the Universal Church which is the Body of Christ and consists of all Christian believers, regardless of their denominational affiliation.
(Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 1:11-13; Ephesians 5:23)
We believe in the weekly congregation of believers on Sunday, The Lord's Day.
(Mark 16:2-4; Acts 20:7; Hebrews 10:25)
We believe in the Rapture of the Church, the physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth, and a pretribulational and premillennial interpretation of prophetic future events.
(Mark 16:2-4; Acts 20:7; Hebrews 10:25)
