First Baptist Church of York - A fellowship of Joy, Faith, and Love.
Joy
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Psalm 16:11
Faith
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
Love
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
Originally, this church was organized as the Yorkville Baptist Church in 1866. 2 of the 15 charter members of the church were former slaves. The present and historic sanctuary was dedicated on January 10, 1892. This is a congregation that the Lord has been gracious to for nearly two centuries. Each week people still gather in an old building to pray, to sing, and to hear from God’s Word being preached just like the original members used to do in the 19th century.
Our Mission
To foster and maintain public worship, carry out the great commission of Jesus Christ and promote Christian fellowship and growth.
