Who We Are:

We are so glad that you're here! Take some time to look around and discover more about who we are and what we're about here at First Baptist. We pray that our church will be a place where you can experience the love of God. 

Maybe you are returning to church, or coming to church for the very first time. Or, maybe you're an active church member who just moved to town and needs to find a new church home. Whatever your story may be, you probably have a lot of questions before you visit First Baptist Church. First Baptist Church’s calling is to the town of Shelby and the surrounding rural community. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only answer to life’s pressures, questions, and difficulties. Only through a relationship with Him can we find true life and hope.

We are looking forward to you visiting with us at First Baptist soon!First Baptist Church has been ministering to families in Shelby and the surrounding area since 1954. Today we have the same goal to preach God's word in the town of Shelby and the surrounding rural community.
