First Baptist Church – Downtown

The First Baptist Church dates back to 1883, when Rev. H. M. Burroughs moved from Henrietta and together with eight other people started First Baptist Church.

FBC, W.F. began expanding their Sunday morning worship offerings with the addition of a Contemporary Worship service in August, 2005. Through the years, other programs were added to further reach the community including Upward Sports and a revitalized Youth Ministry.

Under the leadership of the current pastor, Dr. Bob McCartney, two satellite campuses were formed. In 2010, The Church at Sheppard was launched with the aim to reach and minister to people in and around Sheppard Air Force Base. Not long after that, the West Campus was born and has grown into two worship services. The downtown worship center seats 1,650 in traditional pew arrangement and includes a choir loft.
