Ames, Iowa
Located one block south of the ISU Memorial Union, First Baptist is a vital part of the ISU community. Students are involved in all areas of our ministry. We invite you to get involved - there are many opportunities for worship, study, fellowship, and service.
Worship: We gather for worship on Sunday mornings at 9:45. Students are involved as worship leaders, choir members, ushers, nursery workers, and more.
Study and Fellowship: We meet on Sundays at 11 am in the College Lounge for Bible Study and fellowship. We also meet frequently for Sunday night meals and special events such as cookouts, hayrides, the annual Super Bowl party, and more. .
Music: Our choir sings all kinds of music, has a lot of fun, and welcomes students! . Mindy Phomvisay, an ISU grad, is our Director of Music. If you play an instrument, e would love to have you share your talent with us! We have a "Yuletide Orchestra" that plays in December and is threatening to play at other times, and we use a variety of instruments in worship. Worship is a mix of traditional and contemporary. We have some scholarships available to students who sing in the choir and/or play an instrument in worship.
Spring Break Trip: Over spring break 2012, we sent a group to work at the Morgan-Scott Project in Appalachia. We plan on another trip in 2013 and hope you can join us!

Fellowship/Activities: We regularly gather for a meal together. You can join our
basketball team, the First Baptist Dunkers. (Get it? Baptist - Dunkers?), go on
a hayride, or enjoy time spent with friends at a Game Night. We have lots of
opportunities for fellowship and building relationships, and we think it is
important to just have fun!
Newsletter: While school is in session, our nearly-weekly e-letter generally includes
a "bad joke of the week," info on
campus life, and details on current happenings at First Baptist.
College Lounge: Located on the
second floor of our education wing, the lounge is a place to hang out, study,
listen to music, or play games. It's available for use whenever the building is
open. Sunday Suppers and other gatherings are held here. And we have wi-fi
access!
Other Opportunities: Take part in a service project, get involved in drama, work at our Music Camp for kids, serve as a worship leader, run the sound board on Sunday mornings, and much more!
