Answering God’s Call to Live in the Christian Faith
Who We Are
We Are Baptist.
We believe that our Baptist heritage revolves around four fragile freedoms.
Soul Freedom - We believe in the priesthood of all believers. Every person has equal access to God and equal responsibility to God. We believe that God has endowed each individual with different gifts and brings us together as a church body to express these gifts for His name’s sake.
Bible Freedom - We believe in the authority of the Holy Scripture. The Bible is the place where we turn for all matters of faith and practice.
Church Freedom - We believe in the autonomy of the local church. The authoritative body of this church is made up of all members. We believe that no church body should be ruled by or dictated to by any outside organization or agency.
Religious Freedom - We believe in the separation of church and state. God has established the state to ensure the domestic and international security of her citizens. The church is God’s arm of redemption to the lost and hurting.
We support Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and The Southern Baptist Convention. In these volatile times, FBC Forsyth seeks to be a calming presence that does not polarize people due to their religious, social, or political beliefs.
We are a church that wants to be known by our love. Jesus said “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35 NLT. We are a church that embraces females in leadership. Both men and women can serve as deacons and be ordained ministers of the gospel fulfilling their calling and purpose for Christ.

Our Present and Future
First Baptist is a church that focuses on missions and ministry. We are excited about the future and where God is leading FBC Forsyth. We are a place where people can WORSHIP God freely, a place where people can GROW in their relationship with Christ and become disciples, a place to CONNECT with other people who are serving Christ, and a place that strives to GO and tell others about Christ and to share his love through our lives.
