Welcome!

We believe that the church is the people, not a place. The word ‘church’ comes from the Greek word ekklesia, which refers to the congregation that make up a church family. People from various ages, backgrounds, and experiences are united through the Gospel of Christ.


Each Sunday morning at 10:30am, we gather collectively to worship Jesus and celebrate His death and resurrection which accomplished our redemption, restores us, and to re-creates us. Our time together includes singing, prayer, giving, updates, and expository preaching. We would love for you to join us. It is our prayer that God would make Himself known to you through the person and work of Jesus Christ and that you would be captured by His beauty and glory.


By God’s grace, we have the blessing of owning a large, spacious facility right in the center of downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts. Look for our "First Baptist Church Main" sign in the front and come right into our main entrance. Once inside, you will be met by our friendly greeters or look for signs for the Sanctuary.
