~ Who We Are ~ `
The First Baptist Church is a small, progressive American Baptist Church in the heart of downtown Ithaca. Our membership, coming from a great variety of cultural, familial, and religious traditions, holds to individual freedom of belief. We strive to be accepting, respectful, welcoming, and inclusive to those at different stages of their faith journey. First Baptist Church is a member of the Association of Welcoming & Affirming Baptists, and welcome and affirm all people regardless of race, gender, nationality, religious background or sexual orientation.
FBC is independent, making its own decisions about staffing, worship, ministry, outreach, and the programs it offers and supports. Following American Baptist polity, our church is run by Boards of Worship and Christian Concern, Education, and Trustees. These boards are comprised of church members who are nominated and affirmed by the membership as a whole. The church strives to support the spiritual life of individuals and families in its worship services and other aspects of church life.
We look forward to welcoming you at First Baptist.
