Welcome! We are an American Baptist congregation located in the heart of the Iowa State University community. First Baptist is a mix of college students, families, current and retired ISU faculty and staff, and folks from all over the Ames area. We strive for:
- joyful worship that engages both heart and mind
- deep fellowship that enriches our life together
- compassionate service in our community and world
We are located in Campustown, one block south of the ISU Memorial Union. We are "building an inclusive family of faith" and invite you to join us!
Our Great Day of Service will be Sunday, October 6. We will meet at our regular time of 9:45 for a very short service in the sanctuary and then spend the morning in service projects both at the church and in the neighborhood! Please join us - there is something for everyone!
One of the projects is putting together Hygiene Kits for Church World Service. If you would like to provide some of the items for the kits, you can sign up at church. There is also an Amazon gift registry for some of the items - you can purchase them online and they will be shipped directly to the church.
Hybrid Worship - in person/on Zoom!
Join us on Sundays at 9:45 am!
