First Baptist Church (Est. 1827) is situated in historic West Townsend Village, on the bank of the Squannacook river. Behind the building is the Amadon Memorial Prayer Garden. Overlooking the river, the woodland sanctuary is a quiet refuge for prayer and worship. Memorial gifts to develop and maintain the garden have been given in loving memory of Richard H. Amadon and G. Marion Amadon.
We believe in the Bible as the only inspired, infallible Word of God, our source of truth for faith and life. We preach the gospel of Jesus Christ - that forgiveness of sins and eternal life is given freely to all who truly put their faith in the Son of God, the crucified and risen Lord.
We pray together on Thursday evenings at 7:00.* A second prayer group, Moms in Touch, meets on Monday evenings at 7:00 to pray for our chidren and our schools.
We grow together as we study the Bible on Sunday evenings at 6:00. Our new Bible Study series A Course in Compassionate Christian Communication begins January 22.
We serve in the community through our monthly ministry at Nashua Crossings Assisted Living Community, Youth service projects, by supporting our members in their own lay ministries, and through partnerships with missionaries and missions organizations.
